This improved version is capable of capturing images with a resolution of about four metres. The 50-kilogram satellite will be placed in orbit at an altitude of around 500 kilometres. It will be useful for the Internet of Things and for transmitting high-resolution images, which are vital for smart agriculture, environmental monitoring and urban mapping.&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t The Paya satellite will also perform observational functions, providing detailed imaging and data collection for a wide range of practical applications, including climate change monitoring, land use and resource management in the country.&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t Zafar, developed by the Iran University of Science and Technology, is an advanced Earth observation satellite designed to capture high-precision images of changes on the planet\u2019s surface. Its capabilities will be valuable in various fields, including disaster prevention.&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t The launch of the three satellites marks an important step for Iran towards technological independence. The ultimate goal is to establish a space-based economy by providing services to citizens and government institutions.&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n Photo:\u00a0aapsky \/\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.istockphoto.com\/ru\/%D1%84%D0%BE%D1%82%D0%BE\/%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%81%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8F-%D0%B7%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B4%D0%B8%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B5-%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B3-%D1%83%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B3%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B0-%D1%84%D0%BB%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%86%D0%B8%D1%8F-%D0%B1%D1%83%D1%88%D1%83%D0%B5%D1%82-%D0%BD%D0%B0-%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B6%D1%8C%D0%B5-%D1%81%D0%BF%D1%83%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA-gm1037353112-277690465\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">iStock<\/a>&#13;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; Head of the Iranian Space Agency Hassan Salarieh has announced the planned launch of three orbital satellites&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":135907,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[85,46,141,145],"class_list":{"0":"post-135906","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-space","8":"tag-il","9":"tag-israel","10":"tag-science","11":"tag-space"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135906","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135906"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135906\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/135907"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135906"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135906"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135906"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
