Addressing Friday prayers in Isfahan, he underscored the rapid development of fully domestically produced satellites, highlighting a promising trajectory for Iran’s space program.
Yazdanian recalled that earlier attempts in the 1990s to deploy homegrown satellites were unsuccessful. However, the determination of Iranian scientists in the 2000s led to the first successful launch. He noted that these satellites significantly enhance communication capabilities, directly benefiting citizens’ daily lives.
He further emphasized that the space sector contributes to both national security and economic growth, with strategic initiatives aimed at improving living standards remaining a top priority.
Despite the constraints imposed by international sanctions, Yazdanian stated that Iran has attained self-sufficiency in space technology.
In recent years, the country has made multiple achievements in the space field, steadily strengthening its global position.
The Iranian Space Research Center continues to prioritize expanding research, acquiring essential space technologies, and supporting infrastructure development within universities and research institutions.
