Tehran-Al-Jazeera Net

After a hiatus of more than five years, and after its failure to get the Payam and Dosti satellites into orbit last year, the government of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani failed for the third time to place the "Zafar" satellite in the desired orbit, but it appears that the failure did not It reduces the Iranians ’hope and resolve to continue their space program.

Iran tried late last night to mitigate the failure of the attempt to talk about the success of the launch and the arrival of the moon-carrying missile, which exceeded the planned by 11 km, saying that the "Zafar" moon did not settle in the low Earth orbit at a distance of 530 km due to failure to reach the speed Necessary.

A spokesman for the Air Force in the Iranian Ministry of Defense, Ahmad Hosseini, said that the attempt achieved its research goals and Tehran will work to correct the errors that led to the failure of the mission, and will continue these experiments in the future.

Ready moons
After the fall of the Simorgh missile debris in the Indian Ocean and cut off from the "Zafar" satellite in the Serjunkel area of ​​Sistan and Baluchestan Province in southeastern Iran, the attention of the authorities in the Iranian space projects focused on the next steps and their intention to launch the second version of the same satellite during the Iranian year Next to space.

In this context, Iranian media published reports about the Iranian scientists designing a "double-wing" missile, and said that it is capable of carrying satellites, and will enter service during the coming period to carry the "Nahid 1" satellite, which was ready to launch, into space and put it in its orbit at a distance of 250 Km from the globe.

In a move described by observers as intended to show Tehran's intention to continue its space program and challenge the voices critical of it, the Iranian Space Agency announced that it intends to launch five satellites - namely, "Pars" 1 and 2, "Zafar" 2 and "Nahid" 1 and 2 - during the Iranian year Next and put it in orbit at an altitude of more than 500 km.

For her part, Effat Hidayati, assistant to the Iranian Minister of Communications, commented on the incident by saying, "We will make failure a bridge for success, and that the story of Zafar Moon is not over." In order to achieve his ambitions.

Parliamentary support
Parliamentaryly, the prominent deputy, Heshmatullah, Falah Bisha, said that the council supports scientific and technical activities in the country - especially space science - by approving the necessary scientific budget, explaining that according to the next five-year plan, his country will take first place in the region, and it must reach development levels Classy.

"The enemy is seeking to obstruct the wheel of development in Iran by making empty allegations about our scientific activities to implement its hostile policies and imposing sanctions on Iran, as well as its attempts to reduce our technical capabilities," Falahat Bisha added, stressing that Tehran will not back down from its scientific career.

And unlike the political issues that usually divide the Iranians, Iranian reactions on social media platforms varied between the majority who see the Iranian move positive despite its failure and that it paves the way to final success, and between a group that it views as part of the media propaganda that pre-emits events and celebration before the real success.

Criticism of the communication sites
For his part, the journalist Muhammad Musaed - who was recently released from prison after being arrested against the backdrop of popular protests condemning the fuel price hike three months ago - wrote on Twitter saying, "After cutting off the Internet, Minister of Communications Muhammad Jawad Azari tried to absolve himself, then he tried to provide a surprise through Introducing a parcel plane to the postal parcel transport service, sparking a scandal along the lines of his space suit, which was recently unveiled, so he tried to save the rest of his face through the media inflated to launch the Zafar satellite that fell.

And while an aide demanded mockingly, anyone would inform the Minister of Communications that the Iranian people know their size and energies and will not forget their record! There is no need to pressure himself, another tweet saying, "Praise be to God for his fall and failure to hit another passenger plane", in reference to the accidental targeting of Iranian air defenses before the month of the Ukrainian plane by mistake.

On the other hand, Abbas Klahadouz, a prominent media figure in the Fars News Agency close to the Revolutionary Guards, considered that "the mistakes that get to the brink of a hole of scientific success are natural and cannot be considered a failure", reminding those who question the energies of their countries' hollow power by unveiling a missile. Thunder-500 "capable of carrying satellites prior to the launch of" Zafar "satellite aboard the Simorg missile.

As for the researcher in military and security affairs, Hussein Delerian, he described reaching the moon at an altitude of 541 km as an achievement in itself, explaining that it does not make sense to fail in space activities, but a success that may be delayed. He added that "as we reached the required height this time, the defect will be raised to the speed necessary to put the moon in its orbit during the next attempt."
