Waiting on the Cause
No cause has been given yet. What Iranian Space Agency finds will be added here, and to the updates below.
Payam is a civilian remote sensing satellited developed by Amirkabir University of Technology. It was supposed to be used for Earth imaging to assist agriculture and environment management.
The Iranian Space Agency is Iran's governmental space agency. Iran became an orbital-launch-capable nation in 2009. Iran is one of the 24 founding members of the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, which was set up in 1958.
