The Khayyam satellite is based on a Kanopus-V surveillance satellite and has a camera with a resolution of 1.2 meters.
Iran's president Ebrahim Raisi praised the Khayyam satellite as an 'Iranian project'.
The construction of three more Khayyam satellites in collaboration with Iranian scientists is on the Iranian regime's agenda.
