Iran's Reinvigorated Space Program Makes Final Rocket Launch of 2021
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 гру 2021
- Iran managed to sneak in the last rocket launch attempt of 2021, a Simorgh rocket carrying a trio of satellites, which appears to have come close to orbital velocity, but not close enough to stay in orbit. And based on recent events in the country it's very likely that this is just the first of many as newly elected president Ebrahim Raisi has publicly stated he wants to reinvigorate the country's space programs. This comes in marked contrast to the much more low profile space launch activities under Hassan Rouhani who had been much more careful about international relations.
I say space programs because Iran has 2 independent groups working on developing space launch vehicles, the Iranian Space Agency and the Revolutionary Guard have both launched satellites with vehicles of their own design, although there is a great deal of commonality with the country's ballistic missile capabilities.

So yes, I know this subject can be 'controversial' - but keep the comments civil please.
well the video is still really good
tell whatever you like man, people are familiar with your objective thinking ,there will be no problem. I'm your big fan from Iran.
Based on the Scud… that should work out well..
@@timblack6422 there's always one.
@@hmdshokri hey, your comment rhymes lol
As an Iranian with the first name as the ballistic missile that you pronounced perfectly, I am pretty impressed by your great pronunciation in different languages and also detailed knowledge of internal dynamics and politics inside Iran.
You're right. Simorg is pronounced "see-morgh", but the body of knowledge you provide is much more important.
Cheers and happy New Year.
US - Iranian politics are a bit like a bad romantic comedy. Every time Iran tries to warm up to US, the US elects a hardline asshole... and visa versa. It's frankly depressing. I've known several Iranian scientists and engineers over the years, they are scientists and engineers... so my people ;)

"Unintentionally suborbital" will be my phrase to use in conversation of this year :D
Think this description will be applied to Blue Orgin in the future?
For when you can't get it up either?
I'm thinking this term could be used for any failed attempt! "My attempt to get the promotion went unintentionally suborbital." Lol
@@Gandoff2000 good one, I'm stealing it! :)
a new space catchphrase to go right alongside "Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly"
as an Iranian, this is factually accurate. I think Iran should be allowed to develop its space program. It is not up to others to decide if Iran should or should not have a space program.
simorgh is not a ballistic missile
But it can be if we want
I agree Iranians want a space program. Other nations don’t tho. Irans gain is their less loss (in terms of military leverage). So they will do their best to contain them (as any reasonable country would do protecting their best interests)
Well presented Scott - objective, honest, admitting where things are not reliably verified. If only we had newspapers and news outlets with this level of integrity.
Cant have a 24-7 news day in legacy media if you cant run blatantly false or sketchy sourced stories haha otherwise youre limited to like 5 hours of content including weather. They make money on their ads and viewership so it will never happen.
We do. U.S. PBS Newshour.
News outlets are mostly owned by the degenerate enemies of Iran
@@dmurray2978 But keep in mind that enemies of Iran are made by Iran itself. Other nations would not be enemies of Iran were it not for Iran's unrelenting commitment to exporting "Iranian revolution" to other nations. Look at the great relationship the West has with Jordan. We would all love an Iran that could become another Jordan.
Iran needs to begin sleeping in the bed it has been making for the last few decades of blatant support for international terror groups. Their issues are their own problem. If they grew up and became productive international partners they would go farther.
Long live Iran It’s a real country and a real power 🚀
As an iranian they told us on the news and stuff that it was successful
Sooooo
Thanks for making this video
It was more successful than previous attempts..

Can't believe you answered me this quick
In Russia they reported the last Angara launch was successful.

on another note, im just gonna tell you the meaning of each of the things you mentioned.
simurgh = kinda looks like gryphon , is on the good side, mash unicorn + giant eagles (from lotr) + gryphon + phoenix ... Simurgh is a benevolent, mythical bird in Persian mythology and literature.
shahab = comet. meteor

THANK YOU scott appreciate it for covering the launch news of this event
That was the most perfectly aggressive “Happy New Year” I’ve ever received. I love your content

Very interesting indeed, please do more of such vedios on developing space programs with your balanced commentary and analysis.Happy 2022.
Fascinating. Really good commentary on a program I rarely hear about👏🏻
A very informative segment, refreshing for its coverage of a program that gets little attention from other commentators on space-related developments. Thanks... and Happy Hogmanay!
I like the Iranian use of colour on their rocket. Reminds me of BMWs Le Mans endurance racing "Art cars."🖌️🎨
I always find myself kinda cheering on the Iranian space program, mostly just because I imagine all of the McGuyverish ingenuity happening behind the scenes since these people have had to develop these vehicles based on SCUD missiles and stuff like that. Like I want them to succeed and develop working rockets because it does seem to genuinely just be for civilian purposes and it's kinda good for everyone if more countries have access to space and also just because it's really impressive for such a relatively small country to develop these things based on so little. Like the Iranian government sucks but the Iranian engineers building this shit really deserve every success they get because man they must be geniuses.
Iran is not relatively small. Today, Iran alone is bigger than all European countries, and basically what you call the Middle East, we call it Greater Iran.
As an Iranian I would like to say our government does NOT suck my friend. Common! don't let mainstream propaganda fools you.
Me as an Iranian completely support my country and my government knowing that it has some issues mostly bc of sanctions of western governments on our nation.
They want a space program to have leverage militarily to over the US. “Hey we can potential bombs flying over Washington DC”. To think otherwise is naive. Even the US founded NASA as a military response to USSR launch of Sputnik

-- and if you follow that same scud back even further, it turns out to almost be a V-2! Wernher von Brauns concepts still helping people to space almost 100 years down the line.
Thank you for noticing that about Werner von Braun.
It's perplexing how inventions made to produce poison gas for WW1 now make fertilizer that feed 4 billion people, or rockets meant to shoot at England now put us into space. It's not even selection bias.
Does that mean one should do something bad for it's eventual positive impact? Or that gestures meant in all good spirit can have negative unseen consequences?
@@blahsomethingclever I suppose all it means is that every technology has all kinds of applications. Peaceful technology can and has been converted into weaponry. Metallurgy used to make tools for labour were turned into swords. Combustion engines made for cars were placed on tanks etc etc. That being said technology does improve significantly during war time and that is definitely an interesting thing to consider.
@@will2brown50 While reading this discussion I thought maybe we could have traded a slower pace of progress for peace. Such a shame that the first modern rocket was used to kill innocent people.
I am reminded of the entirely peaceful moon program which brought so much new technology and innovation. Maybe peaceful programs can produce even more innovation than wartime ones.
Yes I'm aware of the cold war. But what's the dollar per dollar roi on peaceful technological development vs. wartime?
@@blahsomethingclever we have seen alot more progress in the last years than in the world wars. Remember, we didnt have smartphones 20 years ago. The idea that we need to kill eachother to progress just doesnt hold up. More accessible resources aka money has grown great minds without bloodshed.
If the money comes from wars or investors or ads doesnt matter in the end.
@@Michael-hn5cj what do you mean by ROI? Also, I imagine it is more a matter of, there is significant technological advancement when society as a whole dedicates itself to one purpose or several key purposes. In the case of war, that is defeating the enemy, thus large amounts of funding and personnel are dedicated to creating new tech for that purpose. The moon landings had a similar effect, a massive amount of American science and soviet science was dedicated to one goal, space exploration, and that had enormous technological breakthroughs. I imagine that, once society has something to fight for or to believe in, it's rate of progress in that field (and as a consequence related fields) massively increases. Right now, with no such objective made clear, society spends small amounts in numerous lesser fields because the only source of funding is private investors, who all have different ideas on what is good to research.
Great content, Thank You!!! much LOVE ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Honestly having a gigantography of their leaders in the background of every launch seems like a careless display of hubris that has only brought them bad luck...

Sorry to hear about the loss of the rocket -- that's a bummer for any space agency. Though, being short only ~250 m/s on the orbital trajectory sounds like it's fixable. With the new President backing the space program as he is, I'd be surprised if we didn't see a successful launch this year.

Cool topic, thanks for sharing this.
can you do a video about japanese rockets evolution?
Yes!
@@scottmanley YAY
That’ll work!
The Japanese small launcher, the Epsilon is pretty much a ballistic missile in civilian drag. It's all-solid fuel so it's eminently storeable and it can be launched by an operating crew of eight people. They've test-fired it a few times, they know it works and it could easily carry a nuclear weapon in a re-entry vehicle to anywhere on the planet, a true ICBM.
Japan, although totally committed to not developing or possessing nuclear weapons has the technical capability to have nukes in a short period of time if they feel it necessary, with breeder reactors and spent fuel processing facilities. What they did lack was their own nuclear weapon delivery platform until Epsilon came along (the H1 and H2 were too big and clumsy). See also Berlusconi's Bottle Rocket (Vega) and the Ariane P80 boosters, a product of Italy's own aborted nuclear weapons development program.
@@robertsneddon731 ICBMs are suborbitals tho. Is their launcher orbital with the reduced payload mass?
"see morgh." is translated to "thirty birds", a legendary queen for the sky animals from the iranian mythological book 'Epic of kings'

Welcome to the space faring community Iran! Despite what anyone else may say, we are happy to have your competition and collaboration in space!
Advancing science is something everyone benefits from. Some kinds of government are just able to contribute more.
Don’t be fooled Iranians. This is actually a condescending statement

@@keithmoore5306 Satellite launch vehicles make mediocre ICBMs. ICBMs tend to make decent satellite launch vehicles. Developing one doesn't neccesarily give you the other.

„four suborbital flights, one of which was intentional“ - hillariously extra dry commentary! That‘s why we love Scott so much!
love ur videos 👍
Depends a lot on what makes these rockets fail.
You pointed out how aggressive these fuel mixtures are, so maybe the pumps, seals or vents are not up to holding back the acrid chemistry all the way to Orbit and give out.
Any other country (except North KOrea) would be able to get better materials in if they cannot make them inside the country, but Iran does not have that option as they still are under embargo.
missiles aren't meant to achieve orbit they're meant to deliver a warhead!!
Love it! You should do a video on how stage separation systems work.
It's easy, you just hit the spacebar.
@@SkulShurtugalTCG maybe in ksp but not in real life.
Some staging is done with two rings, bolted together with explosives. These bolts burst at a programmable height and seperate the rocket
Yeah, this would be a good addition to the "things KSP doesn't teach" series; in KSP these things are just magic rings, and in real life they're all sorts of complex little mechanisms with interesting design considerations. There are some space tech firms that just make decouplers!
All together now, Check Yo Staging.....
Hi, dear Scott. Happy New year to you and your family. Our government is very sick and I'm sorry for this.😓😓
😱 links to sources, thanks Scott!
Excellent point you are making regarding the ballistic missile program; as an Iranian nationalist, please note, (not an Islamist or belief in Islamic Republic religious philosophy) I am fundamentally opposing the Islamic Republic apparatus as it stands today and for the last 43 years. However, 110% I advocate Iran space and military technology in any way, form, or shape regardless of who runs the country today or in the future. As I believe those technologies are the property and asset of the Iranian people, Finally, it is not European or American, or Israeli's business; they have all the dangerous and horrendous weapons at their disposal; furthermore, they did not shy away from using them in the last 60 or 70 years until today. Therefore, it makes them unqualified to judge Iranian technological progress. I also believe the current political system in the country must start enumerating the requisite qualities of a consistent and coherent strategy with Iranian people directly to confront violent extremism, such as political and insatiable economic greed and, indeed, outside and inside the country religious ideologies with pugnacious intentions against Iranian interests.
Man! With a complex lexicon and long paragraphs like that you aren't going be a popular movement!
@@vladimirdyuzhev I am really not looking to be a popular movement or there is no movement at all😊😊. I have just expressed myself and I believe I have hit the nerve of a few people😊😊
Iran is run by religious lunatics who think that they will get 72 virgins if they die in a Holy War. You cannot deter such people. They will gladly nuke other nations even if they die so they can be rewarded in heaven.
They should be prevented from getting nukes for the sake of the world.
@@flechette3782 Yes, to some extent, you are right; I could not disagree with the view. However, the United States used nuclear weapons on Nagasaki and Hiroshima and later on used another form of mass destruction on Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, and today in Yemen. For what? I consider that another form of the seven virgins for economic and political greed, nothing more, nothing less. Also, today Israel uses the most lethal weapon with American and European licence to kill Palestinians and some other nations in the region for the Judaism philosophy with American and European weapons to liquidate the land of other nations just because it has promised in their Torahaccordingly.😉😊😊

thanks for covering this. the launch was a success but the launcher couldn't give the sufficient speed to the payloads. it was close but not enough. After all these failures there will be success.
If it didn't deliver it's payload to orbit then it's not a launch success (unless they never intended to deliver a payload to orbit). This is the same metric used for any rocket launch.

Iran has a stunning engineering culture. Most countries are largely de-industrialised and no other middle eastern country has any kind of manufacturing industry but Iran has a decent automotive industry, has decent robotics programs, it can build locally designed guided missiles, anti-air missiles, basic jet engines, passively electronically scanned array radars. It can build integrated air defense systems and fully rebuild 3rd gen fighters, it can buid solid and liquid ballastic missiles and full space launch vehicles. It's a very impressive achievement. They are like a miniature France. Like the UK have very limited domestic capabilities for production of a number of those things.
There is no decent automotive industry in my country. Only reason those factories are not officially bankrupt is Interest-free loans, no-return loans and massive subsidies which government pumps to them every other year. Those cars are not decent enough to pass any EU or US standards. People here nicknamed their products as chariots of death (ارابه های مرگ). and regarding other things you mentioned, those are mostly military prototypes which never see the light of real production. They use those things for propaganda purposes and has nothing to do with improving the everyday life of ordinary Iranians.

Hi Scott... Just want to say how much I enjoy your "in-Depth" explanations-discussions on so-many aspects of all-things-space related..
But there is something perhaps you could take-on. Just about every launch site has four metal towers located around the rocket. As they are usually taller than the rocket on the pad, I assume their purpose is to mitigate the risk of a lightning strike until the rocket has got enough altitude that the risk is greatly reduced.
Am i correct on this.? I have searched and have not been able to find a definitive answer.
Yes, it's about lightning. There aren't tower like this as Vandenberg for example because that's much rarer.
@@scottmanley thank you for such a prompt reply.

@@rayholland3276 Have a look at any livestream from the Nasaspaceflight channel. This question crops up so often that if it's not been asked by someone then one of the regulars will ask it just for tradition, or they'll ask what the single big pointy thing is between the four lightning towers...

I assume Iran has the same sort of internal budgetary politics as anywhere else. Everyone wants a slice of the priority thing, whatever it is. It doesn’t have to “make sense” to have multiple programs with overlapping tech. They tend to happen anyway.

Came for the rockets, stayed for the civics lesson
Is there a permission system for launching satellites into orbit? example: countries that are not friendly towards each other launching in the same orbit. and if it continues with each country wanting their own satellites, wouldn't that flood our orbit with multiple satellites that already exist and do the same thing? btw nice video
There's a system for geosynchronous. Not sure about anywhere else, but I suspect that for the sake of access any restrictions are related to proximity & such.
There is a formal system for announcing rocket launches. It's mostly aimed at making sure the Americans and Russians don't assume it's a first strike.
Same orbit and function issues are basically just the way that it is. Frequency control for your transmission however is an agreed to thing.

@@keithmoore5306 "Oh boy, do I love rockets! But not rockets belonging to non-White people, they can't be trusted with them."
@@Kyle-gw6qp it's more the death cult religion than color!! i don't have a problem with India having rocket capability they're as dark as this bunch but they're sane and stable! this cult though they can't wait for armageddon to get here so they want to speed things up so their messiah will come!!! that kind shouldn't be allowed to have rocks let alone anything that can be fired!!
@@keithmoore5306 You don't know anything about Islam, do you? I doubt you even know anything about Christianity. Your ignorance is astounding.
@@Kyle-gw6qp oh about as much as santa clause!! they all make about as much sense as that does!! i know they won't behave and that's all that matters as to what they get ahold of!!!
The Gregorian calendar is, by historical twists and turns, sort of based on the winter solstice, so...
Happy new year🥳🥳
Best Wishes! And Fly Safe (with your new yoke xD)
Awesome cousin Scott🎶❤️
Happy 2022!
You need to give us a little bit of credit
Because we only have 30 years knowledge in ballistic missiles and we are pretty much alone in developing it
And the developing costs money but we are the most sanctioned country in the history, so.... its 10× harder for us than a country like India 🇮🇳 .
Oh that's brilliant to hear how the Persian calendar actually makes sense, I want to use it too
You should make a video on Iran's Zuljanah missile , much more interesting
This reminds me China’s “两弹一星” project, aka “two projectile one star”, more accurate translation is two bomb (atomic and hydrogen bomb) and one satellite (Chinese space program). Ballistic missile wasn’t part of goal although one may argue rocket technology can be easily adapted to missiles.
It's actually A-bomb, Missles, and Satellites (where atomic bomb includes both fissel and thermal-nuclear types). So it's exactly the same as the Iranian goal here.
