Dr Mostafa Safavi told Mehr News that the university was assigned with development and design of two ATSat and Nahid (Persian for planet ‘Venus’) satellites. “Currently, a special model of ATSat has been developed and the university seeks coordination to prepare for launching the satellite, however the launching depends much on finding a good launcher,” he said.
On Nahid satellite, Safavi said that it was a joint venture by Iran’s Space Agency’s Space Systems Research Center and Amir Kabir University of the Technology.
The university was assigned with developing 5 subsystems of Nahid by final endorsement of Iran’s Space Organization; Mehr News quoted Safavi as saying.
