TEHRAN -- The spokesperson for the Iranian Space Organization has announced plans for 30 launches into space during the seventh program.

MP Hussein Dalirian touched on the recent endorsement of the parliament’s seventh development program for the space sector at the chamber’s Integration Commission.

“The Integration Commission of the seventh program has approved the necessity for conducting 30 research and operational launches by the program’s conclusion. Considering the existing capacities in satellite design and construction, launch vehicle design and construction, and ground infrastructure, achieving this integration commission’s endorsement is feasible,” he said.

Dalirian added, “The Iranian Space Organization, based on the 10-year space program and with the esteemed president (Ebrahim Raisi)’s support, is presently steering the country’s space sector toward revitalizing and advancing programs. This course is being earnestly pursued.”

The administration will accomplish more than 10 launches over a span of approximately two years, Dalirian said.
