BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 3. Iran will achieve
its goals in the space industry, Iranian Minister of Communications
and Information Technology Sattar Hashemi said at an event held to
mark Iran's National Cosmonautics Day in Tehran today, Trend reports.
He noted that Iran's public and private sectors are actively
operating in the field of astronautics, and given the existing
potential in the country, it will be easier to achieve goals in the
astronautics industry.
According to him, currently, serious activity is observed in the
field of astronautics in the country. Activity in this field
contributes to the development of the country.
Hashemi also said that great progress has been made in the field
of observation satellites and the technology has already been
stabilized. Thus, he noted, the achievements that Iran once dreamed
of have already been achieved.
He pointed out that access to observation and communication
satellites was possible thanks to the activities of Iranian
scientists. The Nahid-2 satellite, developed within a network in
which the Space Research Institute plays a key role and more than
30 startups and innovative companies participate in the country's
space industry, is operating in the Ku-band for the first time.
The minister added that there are practical applications and
real needs in the field of observation satellites, and these should
be targeted correctly, and consistent steps should be taken in this
direction.
Hashemi recalled that the use of observation satellites is the
main solution to issues such as land management, completion of
cadastral work, management of water basins, prevention of
mechanisms that create corruption, as well as preventing
interference with state-registered lands and illegal seizure of
mountains and forests.
