Then, in September 2023, Iran launched another self-made satellite into orbit, called Nur 3, which means Light in Spanish.

This imaging satellite has civil and military missions such as reconnaissance and response to natural disasters. It was sent into space using the three-stage launcher, Qased, also produced by hand by Iranian specialists.

These technological developments have allowed Iran to be one of the 11 nations in the world capable of designing, manufacturing and launching satellites into space, and the only nation in the Western Asian region that has experienced development in the manufacture of satellite launchers.

In addition, the country became the largest producer of therapeutic and diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals in Western Asia, producing 50 types of radiopharmaceuticals that are available and used in domestic medical centers and are exported to nine countries.
