Iran will orbit three new home-made satellites, called Zafar (Triumph), Tolou (Sunrise) and Pars, from more powerful launchers and on the back of bigger carriers in the near future, FARS News Agency cited an official as saying on Saturday.
Deputy Head of Iran Space Agency (ISA) Hamid Fazeli made the announcement on the sidelines of a ceremony at the start of the World Space Week in Tehran today.
"Launching the under-construction satellites, including Sharifsat and Nahid, are also among the short-term plans of the ISA," he added.
