Iran to unveil indigenous remote-sensing Pars-2 satellite next month
Salariyeh said the satellite, which is a more advanced generation of Pars-1 satellite with broader capabilities, will be unveiled on the Space Technology Day during the anniversary of Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution from February 1 to 11, known as the Ten-Day Dawn ceremonies.
Stressing that the Pars-2 satellite can be used as one of the important platforms for Iran’s remote-sensing satellites, the ISA chief said, “Pars-3 satellite is being designed, and in this version of the Pars satellite series, imaging accuracy will be better, reaching an accuracy of greater than two meters in black and white imaging.”
Salariyeh said the satellites form together a remote-sensing satellite constellation that provides and sends high-quality images from the intended points at the right time.
“The integration of data from this satellite constellation together will yield valuable information that can be used in industries, agriculture and the environment,” he added.
