Russian rocket takes Iranian satellites into orbit as ties grow closer
Briefly

The successful launch of the Iranian satellites Kowsar and Hodhod via a Russian Soyuz rocket marks a notable step in strengthening cooperation between Moscow and Tehran as they venture into space collaboration.
Kowsar, a high-resolution imaging satellite designed by Iran's Omidfaza company, and Hodhod, a small communications satellite, signify the increasing capabilities of Iran's private sector in space technology.
This launch, which included two Iranian satellites, highlights not only advancements in Iran's aerospace efforts but also the deepening strategic relationships forming between Russia and Iran amid geopolitics.
Following the launch of the Kowsar and Hodhod, both designed for specific operational lives, these developments in Iranian satellite technology exemplify a broader trend of private sector involvement in national aerospace initiatives.
