About

Given the variety of activities being undertaken in the field of space technology and space issues around the world, the necessity of creating a unified organization in our country was an inevitable necessity. Space technology has fortunately attracted officials, experts, and professionals for many years, and to this day has brought countless positive and positive achievements, but there has been no specific trustee who can guide these activities centrally and in the right direction. This has led to the misuse of these resources.

The Islamic Republic of Iran, as one of the few countries in the Middle East region, has a long track record in satellite communications and has been a world leader in aerospace since joining some of the international space-related communities. .

As mentioned, the establishment of an independent, centralized institution in space in our country was inevitable, and the vacuum of such an organization was strongly felt in domestic and foreign communities. In this regard, in accordance with Article 8 and 9 of Directive 68159 dated 22.09.1382 respected Islamic Consultative Assembly, headed by the president and a member of the Supreme Council of the space with the relevant institutions formed the basis of the approval of the establishment of the Iranian Space Agency was . Accordingly, the head of the Iranian Space Agency is the secretary of the High Space Council.
