IRGC to launch advanced satellite carrier, Qaem-105 by year-end
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force’s Space Division is working to launch the next-generation Qaem 105 satellite carrier by the end of this year, according to Commander Brigadier General Ali Jafarabadi.
The Qaem 105 satellite carrier has a larger cargo capacity, nearly twice that of its predecessor, Qaem 100. While the goal is to launch by year-end, Jafarabadi noted that if this timeline isn’t met, the launch will definitely take place in the spring of next year.
