TEHRAN (Iran News) – The Islamic Republic of Iran on Sunday announced another achievement which signals the country’s strong determination for progress especially for dominance in the space and space sciences through launching satellite carriers.
Iran reportedly tested its domestically-developed hybrid-propellant satellite carrier rocket called Zuljanah for “predetermined research purposes” for the second time. In remarks on Sunday, Ahmad Hosseini, a spokesman for Iran’s Defense Ministry, explained that the three-phased Zuljanah is competitive with the world’s top satellite carriers in technical aspects, noting that it has two solid propulsion phases and a single liquid propulsion phase.
The official added that the third development phase of the satellite carrier has started.
As it was expected, the U.S. and its allies reacted angrily to this test which is a proof for the success of Iran in this launch into the space. The White House on Sunday reacted to Iran’s successful launch of Zuljanah satellite vehicle and expressed concern about it.
While criticizing the launch of Zuljanah satellite carrier, a White House spokesperson called it “useless and destabilizing”. The White House also said it was committed to impose sanctions and use other measures to prevent Iran from further progressing its ballistic missile program.
Earlier this month, Hosseini said the performance of different stages of Zuljanah is examined and evaluated during each research launch.
Following the incorporation of required technology and successful operation, the Zuljanah satellite carrier will be capable of putting “payloads weighing up to 220 kilograms into the orbit at an altitude of 500 kilometers,” he added.
Iran’s Defense Ministry launched the Zuljanah satellite carrier into space for the first time in February 2021.
Zuljanah is named after the horse of Imam Hussein, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him). The satellite carrier is 25.5 meters long and weighs about 52 tons. It utilizes a 1.5-meter diameter solid fuel engine with 74 tons of thrust.
In recent years Iran has achieved amazing success in the field of launching satellite or satellite-carrier but this launch was very important because Iranian scientists had used solid fuel in the rocket. So it made the U.S. angry because solid fuel is used for the intercontinental ballistic missile technology.
Iran is now among few countries which enjoy having this technology and this achievement has been attained in less than 3 decades while the U.S. and other major countries in the field of satellite carrier have been active for almost a century.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has proved this belief that if there is a will, there is a way and the country has proved it in recent decades by major achievements in different scientific and military fields and now the West has to accept Iran as a major satellite-carrier producer power in the world although it is annoying issue for them.
In last December, Iran used a satellite launch rocket to send three research devices into space to show its power to the hostile states and the West that they should never underestimate the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Due to good planning, Iran can turn into a major power in the space sciences because of its talented scientists and strong determination which is deep-rooted in the Islamic Revolution principles. The Islamic Revolution under the wise and brave leadership of Seyed Ali Khamenei has scaled the summits of success one after the other and because of these achievements, the West does not dare any harm against Iran and it prefers dialogue with Tehran rather than dispute and war and their only weapon which has also lost its effect is their sanctions.
Iran has now started the second step of the revolution and it marches ahead towards success with full speed and no ill-wisher will be able to stop this train from reaching its destination which is the greatness of the Islamic Revolution in the world.
Satellite-carriers, drones, missiles and uranium enrichment are just small samples of Iran’s successes which have become bold during its existence, as the country has progressed amazingly in other fields like Nano technology, based-knowledge and medical sciences as the country has turned to a real regional and even global power which cannot be denied by the West.
