Iran Sends Satellites Kowsar and Hodhod to Russia for Launch into Low-Earth Orbit
Oct 12, 2024, 05:14 PM
Iran has sent two domestically manufactured satellites, Kowsar and Hodhod, to Russia for launch into low-Earth orbit. The satellites were developed by a private knowledge-based company and are part of increasing space cooperation between Iran and Russia, both of which are under US sanctions. Kowsar is a high-resolution imaging satellite intended to aid agriculture and environmental monitoring, while Hodhod is a small communications satellite. This launch marks a significant milestone for Iran's private space sector and aims to bolster Russia's monitoring capabilities, including potential surveillance over Ukraine.
