Tasnim International News Agency reported that the satellite "Nur 1" settled in its orbit around the Earth at a distance of 425 km.

The satellite was launched this morning by a "Qasid" missile, a satellite carrier, in two stages of the central Iranian desert.

It is noteworthy that Iran suffered in the recent period from the failure of launching satellites, the last of which was, in August of last year, due to a missile explosion at the launch pad in the Imam Khomeini space center in northern Iran before its launch.
