Iran has successfully launched the Saman-1 orbital transfer unit into orbit using the Simorgh satellite carrier.
The launch, which took place from the Imam Khomeini Space Launch Center, also included two secondary payloads: a CubeSat and a research payload.
The Simorgh, a two-stage liquid-fueled rocket designed and built by the Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics, achieved a successful insertion of these payloads into an elliptical orbit with an apogee of 410 kilometers and a perigee of 300 kilometers.
This marks Simorgh’s eighth launch, setting a new record for Iran with a combined payload weight of approximately 300 kilograms.
