Iran says it 'successfully' launched a satellite into space but it fell short of reaching orbit
"It was launched with success and ... we have reached most [of] our aims ... but the"Zafar" satellite did not reach orbit as planned," a top defence ministry official says.
"The Simorgh successfully propelled the Zafar satellite into space but the carrier did not reach the required speed to put the satellite into the intended orbit," Ahmad Hosseini of the ministry's space unit was quoted as saying. A Simorgh, or "Phoenix," rocket couldn't put the Zafar 1 communications satellite into orbit, however, due to a low speed, Iranian state TV reported.
Iran routinely unveils technological achievements for its armed forces, its space programme and its nuclear efforts during this time. The rocket explosion in August drew even the attention of US President Donald Trump, who later tweeted what appeared to be a classified surveillance image of the launch failure.US allegations
Over the past decade, Iran has sent several short-lived satellites into orbit and in 2013 launched a monkey into space.
