Nader Mokar made the remarks in a press conferences held to present the ISRC achievements and future plans, while emphasizing that the country’s space sector has returned to full operations immediately following recent damages left by the U.S.-Israeli attacks.
He highlighted the adoption of the motto “Satellite Launch Vehicle Revolution” for the current (Iranian) year, stating: “Far more than merely a technological slogan, this strategic roadmap aims to provide easy, affordable, and cost-effective access to space for the deployment of satellite constellations, thereby delivering continuous, high-precision space services to various domestic industries.”
Addressing the homegrown “Iran Zamin” platform, the ISRC head stated that technical development is complete and the system is currently undergoing final evaluations. The platform will be launched in two editions: a public version offering capabilities comparable to Google Earth, and a commercial-specialized tier equipped with advanced satellite imagery and geospatial data processing tools for professional users.
With respect to emerging technologies, such as Star Link, he added he Space Research Center’s mission focuses on developing indigenous technologies, manufacturing satellites and constellations, and efficiently harnessing space big data.
'Our strategy does not rely on or limit itself to any single company or technology. In this context, we have already initiated the domestic development of Inter-Satellite Link (ISL) technology, a vital infrastructure required to establish and operate constellations.”
Highlighting the center’s resilience after recent attacks, Mokari said: “Though buildings and equipment suffered damage, our true strength lies in our committed specialists. We immediately resumed operations and realigned our priorities, rapidly bringing several critical national platforms close to launch.”
