The 50-kilogram orbiter lifted off into space with an orbital angle of 55 degrees on the Iranian-made Safir satellite-carrier.
Head of Iran Space Agency (ISA) Hamid Fazeli said the domestically-built Navid satellite will circle the Earth at altitudes between 250 and 370 kilometers.
He added that the remote-sensing observation satellite is designed to take hi-res pictures of the globe.
Fazeli further said that the satellite is expected to orbit the planet once every 90 minutes and send images to ground stations.
