S. Which says irans Space Program is a cover for Missile Development irans leaders do deny that will check when same bus arriving now in teheran for more on this one tell us more about the actual launch same. Welcome all we know is that this is what the revolutionary guard the r. G. C. Say is their 1st military satellite being launched into space they call it the newer one and it is orbiting in the thermosphere at around 425 kilometers up thats about half the distance of the 1st satellite ever launched into space by soviet Russia Sputnik of course now we do know what that iran has for the 1st several years for the 1st decade of this century theyve been developing the kind of rockets required to achieve orbital launch they achieved that in 2009 and since then theyve launched a number of satellites about half a dozen or so primarily for communication purposes front primarily under the auspices of the defensemen the Defense Ministry but this is the 1st time were seeing the i. R. G. C. Specifically taking credit for launching what theyre calling a military satellite into orbit to tell me more about whats and i think government is saying about the use of this satellite. Well generally we see satellites used primarily for Telecommunications Communications different kinds as a military satellite by definition what were likely to see is this being used specifically for intelligence gathering for things like secure military Communications Navigation imagery and basically taking high quality photo and video of the different spaces that the satellite can see we also have to look at the context within which this military satellite launches happened weve seen the United States and iran verbal the end physically clash in the waters around the gulf countries and 29000 they shot down a u. S. Drone with a missile this is likely something that they will use to help with possibly targeting systems and were likely to see this take on a really symbolic purpose weve seen iran say over and over again to western nations specifically to the United States that the waters around the gulf the lands in the middle east they are foreigners to those places theyve got a great deal of presence both in the water and on the land around their country and theyre likely now to illustrate the point that theyve got an overwatch an eye to be able to see and protect their resources on the ground so the fact that this is a military capable satellite as has some practical purposes but also a very huge symbolic purpose for iran are you with more on the iranian satellite launch thanks.
