An alert from Zarya.info (Robert Christy site) says a orbital launch is possible on June 2 based on recent NOTAMs.
If I remember correctly the 2 June date is rather close to the predicted NET date for Simorgh (Safir-2A) first launch attempt. If my attempted translations are somewhat accurate, Simorgh (Safir-2A) Launch Complex was previously mandated in August 2012 to achieve complete facility readiness by the end of May 2013.

My translations attempt might be a bit inaccurate on the readiness dates due to my calendar conversions to the international standard, the Gregorian calendar.

Well, the launch of Simorgh is expected this Summer, but I suspect that if this NOTAMs are for a orbital launch, then we may see a Safir-1B launch before Simorgh.

The June 2 prediction is based on:

In the notional schedule of launches, you have assumed the 2 June launch will use the Simorgh; what leads to this assumption? Also, any word on where the projected spent first stage impact zone?  This might provide a clue as to the launcher type.

Can anyone confirm if the NOTAMs by Iran for June 2 are still active?

Thanks Soheil. Is that your guess of what the 2 June launch will be based on the information above (the link doesn't state the launch date or the launch vehicle), or do you have another source of information?

Until the moment no news about the possible Iranian launch. According to Zarya.info, there was a 7 hour long window for the launch. This closed at 1130UTC. Reserve date is June 3.

Are there any high resolution images (300+ dpi) available of the Iranian space launch vehicle or satellites? I'm working on a print article on Middle Eastern space programs and may possibly require some Iran photos.
