It was reported earlier this month, that Iran's Space Agency has taken delivery of a domestically produced remote sensing satellite, the "Tolu'-3" (Sunrise-3), scheduled for launch after successfully passing all required tests.

Manufactured by Iran Electronics Industries, a subsidiary of the Iranian Defense Ministry, the satellite weighs over 100 kilograms and offers a 5-meter resolution in panchromatic mode and a 10-meter resolution in multispectral mode for imaging.

The Tolu'-3 satellite will reportedly be placed in the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) to capture and transmit images for various applications, including agriculture, water resource management, and disaster response. This remote-sensing satellite is now included in Iran's annual satellite launch schedule.
