''Sina-1'' ((ペルシア語:سینا ۱)) is the first Iranian artificial satellite, launched at 6:52 UTC October 28, 2005 on board a Cosmos-3M Russian launch vehicle from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome. The rocket was also carrying a Russian military Mozhayets-5 satellite, a Chinese China-DMC, a British Topsat, a European Space Agency SSETI Express, a Norwegian nCube, a German UWE-1 and a Japanese XI-V. Sina-1 Satellite Catalog Number or USSPACECOM object number is 28893 . In 2003, then-Defense Minister Admiral Ali Shamkhani announced that Iran would launch its first satellite on a locally produced launch vehicle within eighteen months. The plan was to develop a booster based on the Shahab-3 medium-range ballistic missile. When difficulties arose with indigenous booster development, the Iranian Institute of Applied Research turned to the Omsk-based Russian company Polyot for both the launch services and ''Sina-1'', for which $8 million USD was paid. ==The Satellite== The Iranian Space Agency had for many years said they were on the verge of sending their first satellite into orbit, finally leading to the launch of ''Sina-1'', a satellite for telecommunications and research purposes. The miniaturized 160-kilogram reconnaissance satellite was put into a sun synchronous near-polar orbit and will image the surface with a 50m (pan) with 50 km swath and 250m resolution of MSS with 500 km swath resolution. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sina-1」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
