Speaking before Friday prayers in Isfahan, he emphasized the rapid progress in the development and launch of entirely Iranian-made satellites, highlighting a bright outlook for the future.
Yazdanian noted that previous efforts in the 1990s to launch domestically produced satellites did not yield results, but the determination of Iranian scientists in the 2000s led to the successful launch of the first satellite. He explained that these satellites play a crucial role in enhancing communication capabilities, directly impacting the quality of life for citizens.
Furthermore, he emphasized that the space industry contributes to national security and economic ecosystems. The strategy to leverage advancements in this sector aims to improve the livelihoods of the population and continues to be a priority, he added.
Despite facing significant challenges due to sanctions, Yazdanian said that Iran has overcome these obstacles and achieved self-sufficiency in space technology.
In recent years, the country has made numerous achievements in the space domain, consistently enhancing its global standing.
The primary focus of the Iranian Space Research Center remains on expanding research, acquiring necessary space technologies, and supporting infrastructure development in universities and research institutions.
