Abstract
One of the basic parameters in achieving power for each country is to obtain
new technologies such as the space technology. Certainly, outcomes and
benefits of the space technology have great impacts on national prestige in the
international community. Understanding its isolated position in the international
community, Israel has been able to achieve significant progress in the field of
space technology. The space program of Israel is considered as the fourth
dimension of its national security. Since there are longstanding enmity between
the Zionist regime and the Islamic Republic of Iran, Israel is using all kinds of
tools to undermine and destroy the Islamic Republic of Iran. One of these tools
is the space program that will carry out spying, surveillance, reconnaissance of
critical facilities and centers, recognizing the country's defense forces and etc.
Hence, the study of space program of Zionist regime and its satellite capabilities
will be necessary.By using the analytical - descriptive study method and
collecting required information from credible library sources, this research
attempts to answer this question clearly what implications the Israeli space
program and its development will have on the security of our country?
The purpose of this research is to outline capabilities of Zionist regime space
program based on the review of the features of its launched satellites and their
effect on the security of our country.The result of research holds that due to the
dual nature of space activities Israel attempts to develop a missile program in
the guise of its space program and to exploit the spying measures through
optimization of launcher missiles, which is a threat to the Middle East
tumultuous region, especially to our country.
