In più occasioni questo blog si è soffermato sulle applicazioni spaziali dell’IRAN ed in particolare sull’apporto dato a quel Paese da industrie italiane nello sviluppo di tecnologie satellitari. ( Fu riportato anche un video della televisione secondo quanto risulta dall’archivio del blog)
Molte furono le smentite su questo argomento .
Ebbene in questi giorni è stato pubblicato un interessante articolo su strategy Page in cui si riassume l’intera vicenda
In particolare a proposito della collaborazione italiana si dice:
Since 2005 Iran has been trying to get an Italian firm to let go of a $10 million Mesbah-1 telecommunications satellite built for Iran. Shipment of the satellite was halted when new sanctions were slapped on Iran, which made the paid-for satellite illegal for Italy to export. When Iran made the Mesbah-1 deal, the 75 kg (175 pound) satellite was to be launched using a Russian rocket. But now Iran has rockets that can launch small satellites, and wants to get their hands on Mesbah-1 and launch it themselves. But that won’t happen with the sanctions. And even more recent sanctions make it illegal for Russia to launch the Mesbah-1. Since the Mesbah-1 was somewhat low-tech, Iran went ahead and built one itself.
La lettura è interessante.
