IRGC "Noor-2" satellite was launched into spaceIran's second military satellite called Noor-2 was launched into space by the Qased SLV today (Tuesday) and was successfully placed in a 500-kilometer orbit.This is the second Iranian military satellite to be placed in LEO.Previously, the Noor-1 satellite was launched into space by the IRGC in 2020 with a three-stage satellite and Ghased combined fuel, and was placed in a 425-kilometer orbit around the Earth, which is still in Earth orbit.Today, with the launch of the Noor-2 satellite, the Islamic Republic of Iran now has two military satellites in LEO
According to the at the same time with the Shaban holidays, the Air Force of the IRGC, using a Qased SLV from the Shahroud desert, placed the Noor 2 satellite in a 500-km orbit.The mission of this satellite is measurement and identification, and Noor 2 satellite was placed in the orbit of 500 km with a speed of 6.7 km on the ground and 480 seconds after launch.According to the report, the IRGC's first space operation began 21 months ago, in 2020, with the launch of the Noor 1 satellite, and despite forecasts of one year, the Noor-1 satellite is still alive and active, transmitting its information to Earth.Additional information and features of this action will be provided later.
Space Commander of the Aerospace Force of the IRGC:It is true that we are one of the few countries that build and launch satellites, but we are at the beginning of the road and somehow we are in the process of breaking the siege of Abadan and the space Khorramshahr is still on its way to reach us.He said: "The country's plan is to stabilize in the Leo orbit and then we will go to the second step and the 36,000 km orbit. God willing, if the officials and high commanders of the country support, we will meet the altitude of 36,000 km (GEO) in the next 5 years."
Is the cryogenic engine hydrolox or kerolox?
Are the Souroush boosters solid or liquid?
As shown in the image below, which is related to the introduction of this challenge on Iranian television, this is a kerolox engine
Of course, this is a plan and it may change in the future, but I think it is the best path for Iran
, but that's a pressure fed engine. The prior images show a pump fed engine. Is the pump fed engine kerolox or hydrolox?
I would have thought copying the Falcon 9 would make better sense.
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iranian state television said on Sunday that Tehran has launched a solid-fueled rocket with a satellite carrier, a day after Iran and the European Union agreed to resume stalled talks over Iran’s tattered nuclear deal with world powers.It’s unclear when exactly the rocket was launched, but the announcement came after satellite photos showed preparations at a desert launch pad. Iran had also acknowledged that it planned tests for the satellite-carrying Zuljanah rocket. State-run media claimed that the rocket launch was successful.The news comes after the European Union’s foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, traveled to Tehran in a push to resuscitate stalemated negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program and announced on Saturday that the U.S. and Iran would resume indirect talks in the coming days.Previous rocket launches have drawn rebukes from the United States, which says that such satellite launches defy a United Nations Security Council resolution calling on Iran to steer clear of any activity related to ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons.Iran, which long has said it does not seek nuclear weapons, maintains its satellite launches and rocket tests do not have a military component.Iran’s state-run news agency IRNA quoted Ahmad Hosseini, spokesman for the Defense Ministry, as saying that the satellite carrier would gather information in low-earth orbit and would be critical to promote Iran’s space industry.

The US Space Force and other US radar-based military assets have yet to provide data to confirm that the launch put a satellite into orbit or that the Zoljanah rocket followed an orbital trajectory.
According to Iran Press news agency, the Iranian Space Agency announced in a report that in a joint cooperation with Russia, the Iranian Khayam satellite will be launched from the Baikonur space station ( Baikonur Cosmodrome) in Kazakhstan next week by a Soyuz satellite Carrier.The report points out that the Khayyam satellite is an important step for providing satellite data and developing the applications of the space industry in Iran.Furthermore, this satellite, which is owned by the Iran Space Agency, will provide suitable infrastructure for the smartening of different parts of the country, with accurate sensors in different spectrums.The report continued that data received from the Khayyam satellite, will be used in improving productivity in the field of agriculture, careful monitoring of Iran's water resources, managing natural hazards, monitoring changes in land use, unauthorized constructions and dealing with deforestation, monitoring environmental hazards, monitoring mines and discoveries as well as mining, monitoring Iran's borders.
