  • Iran's Space Program: Timeline and Technology
    Report Iran’s Space Program: Timeline and Technology 29 Apr. 2020 Contents I- Iran’s Space and Satellite Program’s Timeline ..................... 1 II- Satellite and SLV Technology in Iran ................................. 3 Conclusion ...........................................................................6 Iran successfully launched its first dual purpose military-non-military Noor satellite into orbit on April 22, 2020. Produced domestically, the satellite was launched by a new Space Launch Vehicle (SLV), the Qased. The launch publicly disclosed military aspects of Iran’s space program that were previously denied. Noor has increased international concerns over Iran’s hidden Inter- Continental Ballistic Missile Program (ICBM). Iran’s latest satellite technological and military advancement is a far cry from its early commitment to United Nations treaties and principles promoting the peaceful use of space. Iran is a founding member of the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS) launched in December 1958. The following sections review the timeline and technology of Iran’s space program, to show that it had a military component that evolved over time. I- Iran’s Space and Satellite Program’s Timeline Set up over a decade ago, Iran’s satellite and inter-continental missile technology was launched by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)-affiliated Self-Sufficiency Jihad Organization (SSJO). The components of the program were laid out as early as 2004, when Iran established a Supreme Space Council chaired by its sitting president, and monitored by the Iranian Ministry of Communication and Informational Technology.1 In the early stages of Iran’s space program, communication satellites were developed jointly at lower cost with foreign space agencies.
