Iran is Prepared for the New Orbital Launches by JANET LEVY

This is a serious, new development.  Iran is preparing for an orbital satellite launch, reportedly within 3 months.

From what I understand, the flight profile and payload characteristics of an orbital satellite launch are virtually identical to that of an ICBM with a warhead.  ICBMs are long-range missiles – more than 3,400 miles – designed for nuclear weapons delivery – one or more nuclear warheads.  A single missile can carry several warheads which can strike different targets.  Payloads are 30 megatons plus.  (As a basis of comparison, Little Boy (the bomb used in Hiroshima) had a payload of 16 kilotons (1 megaton = 1000 kilotons) and Fat Man (Nagasaki) had a payload of 20 kilotons.)  

(Military people who may have more information on this development and a greater understanding of the technology, please weigh in).

Scarier is the prospect of our government’s current negotiations with Iran (recently appointed to the U.N. Nuclear Disarmament Committee), while the American people are watching a charade in Washington.

Iran is ready for new orbital launches, the deputy head of the Iranian Space Agency Hamid Fazeli told the ISNA news agency today.

 

According to the plan developed by the agency, “the new satellite, code-named Zafar 2 (Victory -2), is  planned for launch in 2014,” Fazeli said. The satellite was designed and assembled at the Iranian university of Elm-o-Sanaat. The launch has been postponed to early 2014 for technical fine-tuning.

Hamid Fazeli told of the other planned space projects in Iran, in particular the launch of the Tadbir (Expedient ) satellite into space. “The new navigation system and a new generation of sensors orientation will be tested during the experiment,”  he said.

 

“The satellite has to take its place in orbit at an altitude of 250-300 kilometers. Now we are in the final stages of its inspection and testing prior to shipment to the launch complex – a process that can take up to three months,” Hamid Fazeli is quoted by ITAR – TASS.
