Russia sent two new Inosfira MM satellite to Swoiz -2 on July 25, 2025. Rocket 1B from Vostchini Cosmodrome in Siberia. The mission also kept Iran’s Nahid 2 communication satellite into orbit. These satellites will complete a four -satellite tower, which aims to monitor the upper environment of the Earth and the weather conditions, especially the solar air that can offline the satellite and the communication system. The flight indicates Russia’s scientific ambitions and cooperation with Iran’s space program, which shows Russia’s work in launching Tehran’s orbit assets. The two countries take advantage of the mission of mutual cooperation.
Russian space weather satellites
According to official sources, Russia’s new Inosphira M investigations, 3 and 4, follow the two similar satellites launched in November 2024. All four handicrafts go around around 820 km from the ground. The network is clearly designed to study the space weather in the ion spare, charged upper environment.
It will track solar wind and its related phenomena that can upset communication and navigation systems. The latest pair is being erected for the first two in an orbit plane, which has greatly increased the three -dimensional coverage of the nearby land space. He also has a new ozonometer-TM device for the first time in this mission to measure upper environment ozone.
Iranian pay load and international implications
A satellite of Iranian communication, Nahid -2, also rode on the Sweez mission. The purpose of Nahid -2 is to strengthen Iran’s urban communication in space, which is an important potential in view of Iran’s limited ancestral launch capabilities. Russia’s role in the supply of pay load reflects cooperation between countries in space technology.
With the help of Russia, Iran can continue its satellite building efforts, though it is also limited by the inclusion of rocket exports by the international community. Moscow has such products while Iran’s sanctions are identified as the depth of their two countries’ space contribution. This mission represents Russia’s support for the wider geographical political implications of the aspirations of the ally and such co -operation efforts.
