AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): The "Chamran 1" satellite, successfully launched earlier today (Saturday) by the "Qaem 100" satellite carrier, has transmitted its first signals from an orbit 550 kilometers above the Earth.
The research satellite, "Chamran 1," was developed by Iran Electronics Industries (IEI) in collaboration with the Aerospace Research Institute and several private knowledge-based companies.
Weighing approximately 60 kilograms, its primary mission is to test hardware and software systems for validating orbital maneuver technology in both altitude and phase.
In addition to its main mission, the satellite will assess cold gas propulsion subsystems in space systems and evaluate the performance of navigation and attitude control subsystems.
The solid-fuel "Qaem 100" satellite carrier, designed and built by experts from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Aerospace Force, successfully completed its second orbital mission, placing the "Chamran 1" satellite into orbit.
