Tehran, Feb 6, IRNA – Head of Space Organization said Iran has obtained its pre-planned objective by launching Omid Satellite into the Earth orbit and will launch other satellites of different capabilities into space within the next 2 or 3 years.

Referring to compiling the 10-year program in space science, Taqipour said designing and building satellites with certain capabilities in the next 2 years is on the agenda now.

He added that there are different projects under design or construction in various universities and space research centers.
