Iran’s Nour-3 Imaging Satellite Launched into Orbit Successfully

“A few moments ago, the Nour-3 imaging satellite was successfully launched into an orbit 450 kilometers above the Earth’s surface on the back of the Iran-made Qassed carrier with the efforts of IRGC Aerospace Force’s specialists,” Zare’pour said on Wednesday.

He congratulate all Iranian people, those active in the country’s space industry, and the IRGC’s space specialists for this success, saying, “God willing, this year will be a fruitful year for the country’s space industry.”

Also, in March last year, Iran launched Nour-2 into orbit using the Qassed satellite carrier, two years after it placed Nour-1 into orbit.
