Chabahar Satellite Launch Center

[Smarana Mitra]

Those satellites were not suppose stay there for longer than those periods. You questions Iran's ability to launch into LEO which is clearly a none-sensical claim.

Why would anyone intentionally make such launches? If Iran is launching satellite anyway, let the satellite stay in orbit for longer periods. There is no harm in keeping the satellites for long as Iran will also get additional time to do testing and experiments.

Are you not getting tired of embarrassing yourself? Iran literally showed its impressive accuracy of its solid fuelled missiles (and liquid) just couple of weeks ago. No other nation has demonstrated accurate ballistic missiles in practise like Iran has.

The missiles were liquid fuel except for Fateh which were solid fuel. Iran never demonstrated accuracy in medium or greater range solid fuel missile. No major country ever needed to launch ballistic missile and hence never had a chance to show accuracy.

I make no comments that are not backed by real life proof. You can't even tell the difference between a liquid fuelled missile systems and a solid one. A laughing stock, like I said.

Yeah, like you are saying that Iran intentionally launches satellites in unstable orbits? There is a difference between mistake and intentional foolishness.

It called research and development. I know your kind don't know much about it and just import everything and anything

The missiles were liquid fuel except for Fateh which were solid fuel. Iran never demonstrated accuracy in medium or greater range solid fuel missile. No major country ever needed to launch ballistic missile and hence never had a chance to show accuracy.

Now he's talking about range. Once Iran tests mid ranged system you'll then claim Iran never tested ICBM with pinpoint accuracy. Moving the goal posts is what desperate people do.

Yeah, like you are saying that Iran intentionally launches satellites in unstable orbits? There is a difference between mistake and intentional foolishness.

Like I said, your kind is not familiar with R&D. So I don't blame you with being clueless.

 

[Smarana Mitra]

It called research and development. I know your kind don't know much about it and just import everything and anything

Why will Iran intentionally launch unstable orbits for R&D and that too for over 10 years from 2008? R&D is best done in stable orbit. No country has launched satellite in unstable orbits intentionally like that for R&D. India has developed advanced technology like missile, missile defence, satellite launch vehicle, radars all by itself. What imports are you speaking of?

Now he's talking about range. Once Iran tests mid ranged system you'll then claim Iran never tested ICBM with pinpoint accuracy. Moving the goal posts is what desperate people do.

So, 300km is a big range for you? It is within MTCR limit for a reason. Iran may even have acquired Chinese missile technology as it is within MTCR limit. But when it comes to range outside MTCR limits, that is where real capability arises. Does Iran have such a missile is the real question.

 

[Philosopher]

Why will Iran intentionally launch unstable orbits for R&D and that too for over 10 years from 2008?

Like I said, it's called R&D, if you're doing it alone, it takes time. Not everyone just imports their technology like your kind.

R&D is best done in stable orbit. No country has launched satellite in unstable orbits intentionally like that for R&D.

Once again, clueless. The short life of their satellite had nothing to do with Iran not being able to keep them for longer but because those few months were good enough for their R&D.

India has developed advanced technology like missile, missile defence, satellite launch vehicle, radars all by itself. What imports are you speaking of?

Everything you put on that list is being imported by India. Who are you trying to fool? Your country is almost on par with the likes of Saudi Arabia when it comes to importing.

So, 300km is a big range for you? It is within MTCR limit for a reason.

What does 300km have to do with anything here? The missiles used in that strike were off follow:
Qiam-2 with 800km range
Fateh-313 with 500 km range

But when it comes to range outside MTCR limits, that is where real capability arises. Does Iran have such a missile is the real question

Well if you were not clueless, you would have checked and known the missiles used in the recent attack were all outside MTCR limit.

I don't mind keep embarrassing you, but this is getting quite sad now.

 

[Smarana Mitra]

What does 300km have to do with anything here? The missiles used in that strike were off follow:
Qiam-2 with 800km range
Fateh-313 with 500 km range

Fateh has range of 300km, not 500km. Qiam 2 is Liquid fuel and hence not counted.

Everything you put on that list is being imported by India. Who are you trying to fool? Your country is almost on par with the likes of Saudi Arabia when it comes to importing.

Good luck with your jealous rants

 

[Philosopher]

Fateh has range of 300km, not 500km. Qiam 2 is Liquid fuel and hence not counted.

You're getting more clueless by the second. Pay attention and you'll learn something.

Fateh-313 was used in the attack and it has a range of 500km.

"The Fateh-313 is a solid-fuel missile,The Fateh-313 features an extended range of 500 km and improved accuracy. Iran likely used the Fateh-313 in its January 8, 2020 attacks against U.S. forces in Iraq."

https://missilethreat.csis.org/missile/fateh-313/

And what does a liquid or solid fuel system have anything to do with accuracy?

More embarrassments. How surprising.

Good luck with your jealous rants

There is no one on this planet that would be jealous of your kind in any capacity.

Bro, don't feed the troll. I didn't reply to them knowing that this would only incite them to engage in this activity with even more vigor. Now you are banned..

But soothing the idea that one day, the enemy will roll on the floor of rage and despair, when finally an Iranian fazanavard will rise to the sky from this same Chabahar Space center, aboard an indigenous space launcher!

I will personally witness this historical moment live, and record it for all the members with my 2 meters+ focal length telescope and high speed camera.

By the way, just saw a new hint in a video today...about a never flown before new launcher...

 

[Galactic Penguin SST]

As stated, this space center will have to be completed by next year!

First, to support the suborbital manned space program from 2021-2023, and then the subsequent orbital manned space program, after 2023 that will rely on the Soroush SLV evolutions.

Decryption

• 5 space missions involving the one-seater spacecraft 'E1' of 1'800 kg, carrying astro-robot dummy: probably 4 crewless flights before the final crewed flight

• Suborbital flight of 190 km altitude

• Associated rocket in the research stage (presumably the manned-rated Safir-1D)

• First suborbital manned flight by 2023

Possible timetable:
_ • 1st mission: First suborbital crewless flight, by early-2021
_ • 2nd mission: Second suborbital crewless flight, by mid-2021
_ • 3rd mission: Third suborbital crewless flight, by early-2022
_ • 4th mission: Fourth suborbital crewless flight, by mid-2022
_ • 5th mission: First suborbital manned flight, by 11th February 2023 (Shanbeh, 22nd Bahman 1401)


• Orbital flight thereafter: presumably aboard the man rated Sarir-C (man rated version of Sarir-A plus 2 strap-on boosters) or alternately the Soroush-B (aka Safir-4B)

The head of the Iranian space agency pointing to the launch of two telecom satellites in 99 said:
These satellites have been in the final stages and we have begun designing the Chabahar satellite launch center, and the satellite will be launched by Sarir and Soroush SLV from Chabahar SLC.

Here again why a new space center is needed near the coast:

Locals near Zahedan city (south-east of Iran) published a few photos. According to local reports, these debris had fallen after a loud sound of explosion.

Security deputy of Sistan and Baluchestan governor: possibility of falling debris of Safir-2-e-Zafar-1 rocket in Zahedan

Date of publication: Wednesday 09 February 1398, at 12:36

Mohammad Hadi Marashi said: The origin of a fearsome sound in the area of Zahedan is outside the province and we are investigating the details.

Following the release of some news about the fearsome sound reported in the district of Zahedan, our correspondent said that he was a conversation with security deputy of the Governor of Sistan and Baluchestan, who responded, saying that he replied: "The origin of this is outside the province, and we are investigating the exact details."

Marashi added: In preliminary investigation it is possible that the sound heard and the falling parts on the ground were related to the rocket stages separated from the Safir-2 e-Zafar-1 launch.

He stressed: these debris fell in the the country's suburban district and there is no risk for the citizens.

چکیده [English]

The need to stay in space and use its advantage in different perspectives, has led our country to take steps to use satellite technology. In this regard, constructing an advanced satellite launch site with all the modern facilities is one of the key issues. Imam Khomeini Space Center is the first permanent launch platform of the Islamic Republic of Iran. In 1389, it was announced that due to existing geographic constraints, research was conducted to build the second space center in Chabahar. In this paper, using several performed studies on the infrastructure of the advanced space centers around the world as well as various simulation methods, a conceptual design for the Chabahar launch site is presented. Full descriptions of the launch platforms, processing complex, assembling of satellites, etc. are illustrated. The design and construction of the Chabahar launch site will be a major step forward in the development of the space industry of Islamic Republic of Iran.

You're factually correct in your own fantasy land perhaps. You're seen as a laughing stock in this forum.

This member has been consistently wrong about Iran’s missile program. It’s like watching a robot bumping in to a wall repeatedly
