Nahid-1
Template:Short description Template:Infobox spaceflight Nahid-1 (Template:Langx, meaning "Venus") was an Iranian solar-powered communications satellite.[1][2]
Satellite
It was originally planned to launch into low Earth orbit in September 2019[3] on a Safir rocket,[4] however an explosion occurred on the launch pad during launch preparation on 29 August 2019,[5] though the satellite itself was apparently not part of the test and remained undamaged.[4] It was ultimately launched on board a Qaem 100 on 4 March 2023 as part of the rocket's maiden flight, however the launch failed and the satellite was destroyed together with the rocket.[6][7]
Nahid-1 was built with the aim of gaining know-how and experience in the development of geosynchronous communication satellites. It was the first Iranian satellite equipped with deployable solar panels.[8]
