iran launches FAJR sat. into space !!!

allahu akbar !!! mashaallah !

You can track Fajr Sat. Live on this link :

LIVE REAL TIME SATELLITE TRACKING AND PREDICTIONS: FAJR

A screenshot :

some points for other members :

1- Fajr was a 50kg imagery Sat. with on-board Gas propellants which gives it the capability to change orbits without the carrier and thus more endurance

2- its the 4th sat. launch of IRI .

3- iran also possesses new carriers namely Simorgh , Ghaem and in near future Sepehr and ghoghnoos .

4- iran is one of the 10 countries which are now capable of putting their own sat. in space . when iran joined the club back in 2009 , there were only 7 countries capable of doing so .

5- the Fajr. sat was put in 400km orbit of the earth and has a life span of 1.5 years \

i thank all indians , pakistanis , indonesians , bangladeshis and .... for their support .

Thank you all

Hmm, an Iranian living in Syria. Are you in IRGC or something?

Congratulations to the Iranian Scientists who've no doubt toiled hard and long for this, and of course to all the Iranians everywhere. May the future bring in more success.

By the way, What type of satellite is this?

it was launched to the 500km far from the earth .

Fajr, is an imaging satellite which also carries an experimental locally made GPS system. The satellite will have a life span of 1.5 years. It is the first Iranian satellite to use "Cold Gas Thruster" and has solar pannels.

That is a good news. 500 Km is an improvement over the last launches and will sustain the satellite longer in space.

according to @yavar the payload weighed about 400 KGs which is HUUGE step forward !!!
