WANA (Jul 28) – Iran’s Nahid-2 satellite, the country’s first telecommunications satellite operating in the Ku-band, is currently undergoing on-orbit testing and subsystem evaluation following its successful launch on July 25.

 

According to official reports, a series of technical assessments have already been completed, confirming the successful operation of several key subsystems.

 

These include the power generation, distribution, and management system; the thermal control subsystem; telemetry and telecommand communication in S and U/V frequency bands; as well as the satellite’s spin stabilization system and associated sensors and actuators.

 

The testing phase of the Nahid-2 Satellite is expected to continue in the coming days, with results to be gradually shared with the public and professionals in the aerospace and satellite industry.

 

On Friday, July 25, Iran’s Nahid-2 research and telecommunications satellite was successfully launched into space aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket from the Vostochny Cosmodrome in Russia’s Far East.

 

Nahid-2, developed by the Iranian Space Research Institute (ISRI) under the commission of the Iranian Space Agency (ISA), is a low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite weighing approximately 110 kilograms. The ISRI, as the scientific and technical arm of the ISA, was responsible for the satellite’s full design and development.
