Iran: Launched three research devices into space – The moment of launch

A satellite launch rocket used the Iran in order to send three research devices into space, said today, Thursday (30/12) a representative of the Ministry of Defense, without specifying whether the rocket was launched into orbit.

Iran, which has one of the largest missile programs in the Middle East, has failed several times in launching satellites in recent years due to technical issues.

The representative Ahmad Hosseini “The Simorgh satellite-carrying rocket launched three research devices at a height of 470 km.” The research objectives set for this launch have been achieved, “Hosseini said in a statement broadcast on state television. “This was done as a preliminary launch .. God willing, we will have a functional launch soon,” he said, according to the APE-MPE.

Iranian state television broadcast footage of what he said was the firing of a rocket.

The United States has criticized Iran for launching satellite satellites, arguing that long-range ballistic technology used to launch satellites could also be used to launch nuclear warheads. Tehran denies the move is a pretext for developing ballistic missiles.
