Ahmad Vahidi said the center was for Iran's space-related security but that Tehran would also share the acquired data with other countries, the official IRNA news agency reported.<snip>"The base is aimed at securing the country's space facilities and monitoring space objects especially satellites that pass overhead," Vahidi was quoted as saying.<snip>Vahidi said the Delijan center used radar, electro-optic and radio tracking.

It's http://mod.ir/sites/default/files/images/paygahe%20emam%20sadegh12.preview.jpgP.S.: Google Translate says the caption, افتتاح پايگاه جامع رصد و مراقبت فضایی , means "Comprehensive Care Center and Observatory Open Space." If anyone here knows Farsi, it would be interesting to have a better translation.
Are there any high resolution images (300+ dpi) available of the Iranian space launch vehicle or satellites? I'm working on a print article on Middle Eastern space programs and may possibly require some Iran photos.

One question: in what sense is "Comprehensive" to be understood? Does it mean that several different sensors (optical, radar, radio) are used at the center, or is there some other meaning?
