(Our Tech Blog) Islamic Republic of Iran successfully launched its second satellite named Rassad into earth orbit. Launching satellites running successfully likely done intentionally on the night of the birth of Imam Ali. The satellite was launched by the satellite carrier Safir-e-Rassad on Wednesday night, Kesuksessan This again proves that the Islamic Republic of Iran continues to attempt to reach the peak of the technology, although it is pressed and embargoed countries. But the embargo and the pressure is no excuse for old-fashioned technology and science. Even the Iranians were able to make the pressure and the embargo as an opportunity to get ahead.
Although it has a weight of 15.3 kilograms which is the category of micro satellites, but satellites Rassad has all the features of large satellites. This satellite has passed all the stages required for manufacturing, assembly testing, and preparation for launch in the country. Rassad satellite will orbit the Earth at an altitude of 260 kilometers of 15 times every 24 hours. The mission launch is to take pictures of the earth's surface and convey a message to ground stations with telemetric information. The satellite is equipped with solar panels and uses solar energy to work. Earlier, Iran's first satellite launch in 2009 Omid. With the launch of the Omid satellite, Iran became the ninth nation capable of developing the technology to launch satellites. Tehran also plans to launch a manned satellite into space in 2019
A space technology achievements are remarkable considering Iran tidakmendapat Western support only two major countries except Russia and the PRC in the international political arena. However, before the Iranian Revolution was a puppet of Western, post-1979 revolution they face bleak future in the 8-year war against Iraq is supported by the West and Arab countries Monarchy. Even then they face the unilateral sanctions by Western countries to an increasingly severe international sanctions by the UN in which Western countries are behind it. It's amazing the spirit of struggle and survival of the Iranian nation. Very much to the struggle and the strength to survive the nation of Indonesia. In the Old Order, the land is fertile and rich in natural resources it enjoys political and military support from the Soviet Union until he pioneered rocket technology.
Kartika I rocket
On 22 September 1962 established the Scientific and Military Rocket Project Initial (PRIMA) affiliate, led the Air Force and ITB Boediardjo and J Salatun. This milestone marked the beginning of a scientific rocket launch Kartika series in 1964. Kartika I rocket is a sounding rocket's second Asian-African countries at that time, after Japan. Telemetrinya tool that second after India, managed to record the signals from the TIROS weather satellites with a tool made in the country. Kartika I rocket launched from pamengpeuk weighing 220 kg, Kartika II rocket weighs 66.5 kg and the distance traveled 50 miles. Having fallen Orla replaced Orba, aerospace technology focus heavily biased by the aircraft industry with the presence of BJ Habibie in the 1970s. The development of space technology stagger. Asian countries are now highly developed and intensive develop it is Japan, China, and India. When this has been followed by Iran and Pakistan is very likely. Even China has a program to put Chinese scientists taikonot into space luar.Mereka in 2008 managed to place third with a crew of Shenzhou VII capsule in space and Zhai Zhigang was the first taikonot them to pull through the first spacewalk for 20 minutes. Making the PRC as a country in the world to successfully keriga put humans in space after the Soviet / Russian and Ameika States.
Rocket Launch Experiments Lapan End 2010
If Indonesia consistently developing space rocket technology is not impossible can now be aligned with those countries. Even the highly strategic rocket technology in defense systems and a large deterrent effect because they are easily modified for military functions become long-range ballistic missiles and warheads with a payload replace. Deterrent effect is much greater than the fighter. Unfortunately, that hope until now still in the pioneering stage for nearly fifty years ago. Still struggling with an experimental project to move forward despite increasingly recognized. Only later in the year 1987, Indonesia through LAPAN re-create the rocket, named RX-250 LPN. The rocket is a rocket fueled by liquid and solid weight of 300 kg has a length of 5.30 meters powerless to reach 70 km.
Lapan last rocket has successfully launched an experimental RX-320 on May 30, 2008 and RX-420, July 2, 2009, held at the Flight Test Station Pamengpeuk, West Java. That's approaching the final phase for the launch of RPS (Rocket Booster Satellite). The rocket is a four-story satellite booster rocket is called the Rocket Booster Satellite (RPS) -420 and is planned to be launched in 2014. Launch station will be built on the island of Enggano more representative than in Pamengpeuk Garut West Java. Currently Indonesian scientists have been able to make micro-TUB-SAT satellite mekerja together with the Technological University of Berlin. The first micro satellite named LAPAN-A1 was launched in India in 2007 with rocket launching station Shriharikota. When ya Indonesia managed to penetrate outer space?
