Iran launches research satellite into space
Iran has announced that it successfully launched a research satellite named "Chamran-1" into space and placed it into an orbit at an altitude of 550 kilometers.
According to Iran's official news agency IRNA, the domestically produced research satellite "Chamran-1" was launched by the Qaem-100 satellite carrier rocket.
The research satellite, which weighs approximately 60 kilograms, was successfully placed into an orbit at an altitude of 550 kilometers.
It was previously reported that the solid-fuel satellite carrier rocket Qaem-100, belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, successfully completed its suborbital test flight in November 2022.
The U.S. and its Western allies claim that Iran's ballistic missile activities violate United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 2231, alleging that Iran is "masking its intercontinental ballistic missile program, which threatens the Middle East and Europe, behind its satellite activities."
Tehran, however, maintains that the missiles being developed are conventional and comply with UNSC Resolution 2231, which supports the nuclear deal.
In January, Iran also announced that it had successfully launched and placed its remote-sensing satellite "Soraya" into an orbit at an altitude of 750 kilometers.
