-- Iran space agency official says the rocket
was launched on 19:18 (local
time) successfully and could reach 541 km altitude. But unfortunately the
required speed of 7,400 m/sec was not reached to put the satellite into orbit.
The reported final speed of 6,533 m/sec was clearly too low for this. The
video transmission abruptly stops at 19:21. The second stage seems to have
exploded after 75
seconds of burning time.
2020, Feb. 08 -- Launching of Iran’s Zafar satellite into space
has been postponed, Murtaza Barari, Chairman of Iranian Space Agency (ISA)
said in an interview to Iran’s Fars News Agency.The reason of postponing is
the proceeding with caution and avoiding any undue haste.
The launch should be today, and is postponed
to the end of the week (!?)
2020, Feb. 07 -- Iran will launch its Zafar satellite at the
earliest possible opportunity, spokesman for the Iranian Defence Ministry's
Space Group Ahmad Hosseini said om Friday 07. He said that some 200 main processes
have been accomplished by 30 teams and all the infrastructures have been prepared
