The Safir meaning "ambassador" is the name of the first Iranian expendable launch vehicle that is able to place a satellite in orbit. The first successful orbital launch using the Safir launch system took place on 2 February 2009 when a Safir-2 carrier rocket placed the Omid satellite into an orbit with a 245.2 km (152.4 mi).

Safir-2 Block-II
The Block-II Safir booster was developed double the SAfir-1 payload capacity with the intent to make it operational by some time in 2010. The launch vehicle acquire its increased payload capacity into low earth orbit through the addition of two Samen, solid motor strap-on boosters added to the Shahab-3C derived first stage and possible a new solid motor third stage added to the existing two stage Safir space booster. This booster is capable of placing satellite in 700-kilometre (430-mile) orbits or doubling its payload capacity.
On the maiden flight of the Safir-B rocket, designated Safir-B1, from a launch site in Semnan Province, Iran's third indigenous satellite, the 15.3kg Rasad 1 was launched.
The launch occurred at approximately 09:14 UTC on 15 June 2011 with the spacecraft reaching orbit several minutes later.

Rasad Satellite:
Rasad-1 meaning Observation is an Iranian Imaging satellite which was launched in 2011. It is a Low Earth Orbit Satellite placed successfully into a low Earth orbit at an altitude of 236 by 299 kilometres (147 by 186 mi), inclined at 55.7 degrees. It made approximately fifteen orbits per day.
The satellite had a mass of 15.3 kilograms (34 lb) and returned images with a resolution of 150 metres (490 ft).

Good going Iran :tup:
