Iran announces successful launch of first military satellite


Iran has launched its first military satellite into orbit. This was reported on April 22 by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, reports The New York Times. On its official website, IRGC reported that the satellite, which was named Noor, had successfully reached orbit about 265 miles above the Earth's surface. The two-stage launch of the satellite took place in the central desert of Iran. No other details are given. Read also: Iran has prepared two spacecraft for launch. At the same time, the publication notes that there is no independent confirmation of this statement by the IRGC. It is also said that this happened against the background of increasing tensions between Iran and the United States over the collapsing Iranian nuclear deal. The U.S. Department of State and Pentagon believe that such launches advance Iran's missile program. We remind that in recent months Iran has carried out several unsuccessful satellite launches. The latest case occurred in February, when Iran failed to orbit its Zafar-1 communications satellite. According to the news agency, in January 2020, Iranian Communications Minister Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi announced the readiness of new Iranian orbital satellites for launch. These were 90-kilogram sets from the Zafar series, which are designed for remote monitoring of the Earth. Data from these satellites will be used in agriculture as well as for disaster monitoring.
