Preparations for Iran’s first hybrid remote sensing and communications satellite, the upgraded 'Dual-View 1' satellite, have been completed, with plans underway to launch it into orbit in coming weeks.
CEO of a knowledge-based company that has manufactured the satellite Hossein Shahrabi said that it has been designed as a follow-up to 'Kowsar' and 'Hodhod' satellites, incorporating the combined missions of both.
He explained that 'Dual-View 1' is designed to function as Iran’s first integrated remote sensing and communications satellite within a planned constellation.
According to the CEO, the upgraded model features additional solar cells and improved communications hardware. From the three communications links used in 'Kowsar' and 'Hodhod', the most effective have been integrated into the new satellite, along with the addition of an S-band link, enabling full ground-based attitude control programming, he added.
Shahrabi said Dual-View 1 is scheduled for launch in the period of November 22-December 21 with the same launcher previously used for 'Kowsar' and 'Hodhod'.
