NEWSRAEL: Yesterday Iran flooded the world press with announcements about its "great success" in sending a satellite to space. The world echo chamber explained in awe at the Iranian ability to do so. But shooting a rocket is one thing, and getting it into space is another, and today it was revealed that the rocket never made it.

According to reports in Iran, the launch was made using a Simorgh SLV launcher and included three cargo that did not enter orbit in space

Yesterday (Thursday) there were reports of an Iranian satellite launch. Preparations for the launch were documented in satellite images about two weeks ago, with experts disagreeing on when the launch would take place.

Some estimates have suggested that the Iranians want a launch to put pressure on Americans and Europeans to reach agreements in Vienna. The launch was eventually carried out during the eighth round of nuclear talks, with its impact on mood unclear, if at all. Iran has not renewed anything in its missile capabilities in this launch.

According to reports in Iran, the launch was made using a Simorgh SLV launcher and included three cargo that did not enter orbit in space. According to the Iranian Ministry of Defense, the launcher carried "experimental objects" and satellites. It reached an altitude of 470 km.

The launch was carried out from the Khomeini Space Center complex. The Iranian media published a photo, allegedly from the launch.
