MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Iran has started receiving signals from satellites brought to space by Russia's Roscosmos, Iranian Ambassador to Moscow Kazem Jalali said on Tuesday.
On Monday, a Roscosmos spokesperson said that the Soyuz-2.1b launch vehicle has launched into orbit 53 small space devices. Iran's Tasnim news agency reported that the launch vehicle carried the Kowsar remote sensing device and the Hodhod communication satellite of the Iranian space company Space Omid.
"A few hours after the successful launch of the Kowsar and Hodhod satellites into a 500-kilometer [310.7-mile] orbit, the first telemetry signals from the two satellites were received at local ground stations located in Iran," the ambassador said on X.
