Simorgh launched 7 years late, more of a propaganda showing at this point. But at least it has been launched.

However, it seems SLV development is not a serious priority by Iran. A country backed effort should yield faster results than Simorgh which should have been launched 7 years ago. Makes you wonder if it is due to lack of funding or technological bottlenecks that are hard to overcome.

At this point Iran is probably focused on other more important areas of its defense/military rather than sending tiny research satellites into space for a few years.

congrats
In this industry, we have to reinvent the wheel. The experience we get from these launches is the most valuable achievement for us...

Due all respects to Iranian engineers, but:

If Iran would put an satellite with this launch into orbit, well, this would be an "statement" to Trump

You put an obsolete SVL, which was ready during Ahmadinedschad times, into orbit, and you think Trump is now scared..

What was the problem putting an satellite on it, you could beat 2 flys with one stroke

Showing Trump you put SLV in space + a satellite which transmit signals to earth

(Remember Sputnik??? The americans shitted in pants!!!)

THIS WOULD BE A MASSAGE TO TRUMP

But you keep your sattelites back in your laboratories, covered by dust and already rusting....

My 2 cents to this events:

->

congrats, but obsolete and to late, many years delayed...
It seems Iran is still to scared to give uncle sam proper respond...
"soon", "in near future"...always the same phrases from Irans politicians...
and now it seems the launch was not even 100% succesfull...
well this happens if you suck uncle sams d..k,
you disantvantage your goals because you trusted uncle sam´s deals and now you pay the price, a underfinanced and disadvantaged space program which is behing north korea...

US fumes over successful Iran satellite-launch rocket test

The United States is fuming over Iran’s successful test of a satellite-launch rocket, saying it appeared to be a violation of UN Security Council resolutions.

"We consider that to be continued ballistic missile development," State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert told reporters on Thursday. "We consider this to be provocative action."

On Thursday, Iran launched its domestically-manufactured Simorgh carrier, whose mission is to put Iranian satellites into the orbit.

According to Tasnim News Agency, the launch was carried out from the Imam Khomeini Space Center. Simorgh, named after a bird in Iranian mythology, is capable of placing a satellite weighing up to 250 kilograms in an orbit of 500 kilometers.

The United States claims that Iran's missile tests and rocket launches violate UN Resolution 2231, which was adopted in July 2015 to endorse the nuclear agreement.

Resolution 2231 calls on Iran "not to undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using such ballistic missile technology."

Tehran insists its missile tests and rocket launches do not breach any UN resolution because they are solely for defense purposes and not designed to carry nuclear warheads.

Since his inauguration on January 20, US President Donald Trump has adopted a hostile policy towards Iran.

He has repeatedly vowed to cancel the nuclear agreement between Iran and the P5+1 group of countries, including the US, and his administration has imposed new sanctions on multiple Iranian individuals and entities.
