Iran’s Nahid-2 satellite was successfully launched into orbit from Russia’s Vostochny Cosmodrome aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket. Developed jointly by the Iran Space Agency and Iran Space Research Center, Nahid-2 is part of a multinational mission involving 20 satellites. Designed to operate for five years, it features a domestically made propulsion system capable of adjusting altitude by 50 kilometers. The satellite also incorporates Iranian-developed thermal coatings and powerful lithium-ion batteries built for long-term space missions.
