Iran tests Raafe space engine

Civilian institutions are infested by spies. Whatever resources you give them will be wasted. No wonder they are being neglected by the establishment.

And establishment isn't infected with spies?

And establishment isn't infected with spies?

Security access to high tech military projects is compartmentalized and travels of such individuals heavily monitored in the IRGC realm. Usually these are very small specialized teams and people know each spanning decades.

Wouldn’t be suprised if many of the “scientists” in space agency studied in Europe and US. Meaning many of them get pressured to cooperate with foreign intelligence authorities.

IRGC has spies like any organization, it is not hard to get into IRGC. But getting into to Shahrud which is the top military installation that specializes in leading Iranian missile tech is like getting into Area 51 in the US.

BTW even the US military has been infiltrated as well, just check you can see Iranian engineer that worked on F-35 trying to smuggle blueprints out of the country. He was captured. But still. How many go undetected or not detected till much later and never revealed to protect national security? You think China only hacked its way to copying the F-35?

Anyway IRGC black projects is a lot harder to infiltrate than Iranian civilian space program. Would be like Iran trying to infiltrate NASA vs DARPA. Former is a lot easier than the latter.

Impressive.

This is IRGC heavy SLV engine with Solid fuel, composite body and thrust vectoring nozzle.

still , why they need trust vectoring for the first stage ?

It’s for missiles. You think IRGC really invests all that time in engine just for SLV to launch small sats?

This at the minimum is a 6000KM missile possibly up to 10,000KM if you reduce the warhead to 500kg

Iran more than doubles Revolutionary Guard’s budget in FY22 bill

Legislation for Iran's fiscal 2022 budget showns the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps will receive $22 billion.

and add to that the fact that IRGC is allowed to make money and army and space agency are not

I have been in the army. Most of our commanders told us we don't want to be engaged in economic activities when we asked them why don't you make money like the IRGC does?

Artesh and its bases are located in the best places. I make Ajab Shir an example for you, it independenly possesses water resources, it has vast lands for agriculture and surrounded by hills around it. The least they could do was farming those lands and guess what, they don't want to do it.

Opposite to that IRGC is active in all areas and they don't need the government to spoon feed them. On the contrary they help the government to end civil projects.

Judging by this missile IRGC is the true meaning of cost-effective-ness plus independence.

?!
For the same reason that European's first stage solid-fuel engine P80 has thrust vectoring nozzle.

Control system tests begin for Vega’s main engine

Development of Vega, Europe’s new launcher for small payloads, continues at full speed. A dedicated test facility for the directional control system of the main engine has been completed and performance measurements are under way.

The question is army lawfully allowed to participate in the economic activity

Congratulations iran

 

[Muhammad Saftain Anjum]

Congratulations iran

We don't see such tests in our country.

 

[drmeson]

powerful SLVs = ICBM = Deterrence = long lasting peace

 

[Big Tank]

We don't see such tests in our country.

Because we're not tech advanced yet. We can't even make a car engine for now.

You just shut up.
Keep your ignorance to your self.
