36,000 KM Above Earth: Iran’s Jaam-e Jam 1 Reaches GEO

On February 12, 2026, Iran placed Jaam-e Jam 1 into geostationary orbit — 36,000 kilometers above Earth. This milestone marks a strategic expansion into one of space’s most valuable orbital positions. Launched aboard a Proton-M rocket from Baikonur Cosmodrome, the satellite now occupies a fixed position near 34° East in GEO. Unlike Low Earth Orbit satellites that pass overhead quickly, a geostationary satellite remains fixed relative to Earth’s surface — enabling continuous communication and broadcasting coverage. In this episode of History Talk & Common Sense, we break down: • The difference between LEO and GEO • Why 36,000 km matters • The strategic implications of geostationary orbit • What this means for long-term space infrastructure Subscribe for more geopolitical and space analysis.
