Shahroud Space Center (Persian:پایگاه فضایی شاهرود) is a Military Spaceport under control of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Aerospace Force (IRGCASF) located south-east of Shahroud Semnan Province, used to orbit military satellites for Iran's military space program.[2]

Overview[edit]

The launch of the Noor 1 satellite on April 22, 2020, using the Qased launch vehicle out of Shahroud space center revealed the existence of a parallel military space program run by the IRGC as opposed to Iran's civil space program run by the Iranian Space Agency (ISA).[3]

The site features a 23-meter-tall servicing tower, a concrete launch pad 200 by 140 meters and an exhaust deflector with a length of 125 meters; Interestingly, the site features no storage facilities and fuel tanks for liquid rocket fuel, and is primarily designed to launch solid fueled launch vehicles such as the Qased and the Qaem.[4][5]
