The big picture:
Weighing approximately 110 kilograms, Nahid-2 is a product of collaboration among Iranian research and development centers in the space industry, including the Space Research Center, and a network of knowledge-based companies. The project aims to enhance satellite communication systems.
Key points:
- Nahid-2 indigenous space technology has been developed for Ku-band communications.
- It is operationally tested in orbit for the first time.
- The satellite will evaluate other space technologies, including three-axis attitude control, bidirectional communications in various frequency bands, data management, and power distribution.
