| [ALMASDARNEWS] Tehran is planning to carry out a new satellite launch in the near future, IRNA reported on Wednesday, citing Iranian Defense Minister Brig. Gen. Amir Hatami, just one week after the country failed to launch its Payam satellite into orbit. Following a cabinet session, Hatami confirmed to news hounds that the launch, which Iranian President Hassan Rouhani announced last week, would take place soon, according to the IRNA news agency. Hatami specified that the satellite would be launched by the Safir expendable launch vehicle, which is capable of putting satellites into 260-kilometer (16-mile) orbits. The minister emphasized that Iran was constantly improving its capacities in satellite launches. |
