In these eight years, we have entered the fourth dimension - space. Significant steps have been made in the fields of reception stations, control, launching, launch pads, and satellite tracking. The Defense Ministry has used special personnel and scientific centers. This is a launching pad for the Defense Ministry in order to meet the needs of the armed forces in space.
