DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Three Iranian satellites will be carried to space aboard Russia’s Soyuz launcher from the Vostochny Cosmodrome on December 28, Iran’s Nour news agency reports.
The devices will be used in agriculture, natural resources, and environmental monitoring, it says.
Russia’s Soyuz carried an Iranian-made telecommunications satellite into space in July.
