Satellite Launch Vehicle Developments
Based on indications that the satellite Iran may launch in the next few years is in the 170 and 250-550 kgs range it would require the Taep’o-dong-2A or 2B or 2C/3. The Taep’o-dong-1 payload capacity is below 100 kilograms (Perhaps 55-85 kg.) based on more complete information on its performance and therefore cannot be used for the expected satellite launching. The new data on the Taep’o-dong-1 (TD-1) indicates it utilized for its second stage a Scud-B airframe tank-age design with its propellants but that is where the utilization of Scud-B technology ended. North Korea developed a sophisticated modified engine that is in fact a step throttled SAM-2 engine designed to use the Scud-B propellants. If the standard Scud-B engine had been utilized on the TD-1 the payload capacity to Earth orbit would have been questionable only allowing a few grams to be placed in the intended orbit if any at all.Iran’s Own Satellite Launch Vehicle for Its Own Satellite versus the Shahab-4?
Iran has stated it will attempt to launch its own satellite with its own booster in March 2007 but this has clearly been delayed. Iran also has the 20 kg. (44 lb.) Safir-313 (Emissary) satellite in line for these spaceflights but whether it will fly on a test flight of the Shahab-4 improved Taep’o-dong-1 in 2006 is uncertain. Iran continues to state they have no need to develop a Shahab-4 class missile with a range of 2,000 – 3,000- 4,000 kilometers that would threaten Europe.Pleas comment nicely about what i have posted
