Iran's New Space Launcher: Zoljanah
Arms Control Wonk
Iran unveiled a new (mostly) solid-propellant space launcher, the Zoljanah!
But it looks....different than the other space launchers. Besides having a new fuel type, the Zoljanah may not have many IRGC or military fingerprints on it, indicating that the Iranian solid-propellant programs are robust and expansive.
Jeffrey and Aaron talk Iranian space programs, civilian vs. military control of research programs, and, of course, why a solid-propellant launcher makes a difference.
