Abstract

In keeping with the continuing effort toward the development of a domestic space research and development program in recent years, the Omid National Satellite (ONS) is the first domestically manufactured satellite from the Islamic Republic of Iran. As a technology demonstration, it was launched and utilized successfully in February 2009. Despite the simple mission of the ONS, because it was the first full‐scale successful space deployment experience for the country, the domestic manufacturing capabilities for satellite and launch technologies were boosted. More importantly, the country's domestic platform for future space projects was established. Considering the important role of systems engineering (SE) in the localization of the Iranian space industry, this paper aims to present the ONS space program in terms of its SE management , conceptual design, subsystem descriptions with technical specifications, integration, testing, and development. The operational in‐orbit aspects will also be described. The project generated a high level of hope and a sense of achievement among the many skilled national engineers who worked on the project. The specific and general lessons learned that are emphasized in this paper will be incorporated into the country's future space programs and will be used to support the development of the next generation of small satellites. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
