[SOHEIL]

Diameter of stage 1: 2.4m

Gross weight: 85 tons

Four auxiliary engines are located between the four main engines of the first stage (The first stage was steered not by jet vanes) . They each produce 3.75 tons of thrust and can rotate ± 36˚ to control the direction of the rocket.

Fuel : UDMH

Oxidizer : N2O4 / AK-27I ???

Simorgh-A used four 35.5 (37) -ton Safir-B1 SLV engines as expected, and uses four auxiliary engines each with 3.75 tons of thrust, for a total of 157 (163) -tons of thrust for the engine. The auxiliary engines enhance the thrust and control the direction of the rocket.

TEHRAN, 2012, Nov. 12/13 -- Chief Commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Mohammad Ali Jafari announced that Iran will launch new satellite to GEO orbits in space by solid-fueled rocket. One year ago, IRGC General Hassan Tehrani got killed as a result of an explosion occured during the rocket test.
Jafari, said that the Islamic republic will test a new (Simorgh???) satellite-carrier rocket in the near future. IRGC experts have managed to complete the project to manufacture the rocket which can be used to send satellites into geostationary orbits 35,786 km above the equator.

(Note: The word "solid-fueled rocket" means "Upper stage".)

TEHRAN, 2012, Dec. 19 -- Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi said Wednesday that Iran was to unveil new space achievements soon , the official IRNA news agency reported.
Vahidi told reporters that the unveiling ceremony would take place on Feb. 2, Iran's Space Technology Day. Iran has gained many remarkable achievements in the space technology area, he was quoted as saying.

TEHRAN, 2013, Jan. 30 -- The president of Iran’s University of Science and Technology says the Islamic Republic plans to send its domestically-produced satellite Zafar into space within the next eight months.
The satellite would be launched into space by the summer of the Iranian year 1392 (September 2013).
Zafar is an advanced satellite which will have the mission to take high resolution wall maps and aerial photos of locations around the globe as seen from space. Zafar satellite weighs 90 kilograms and will be placed in elliptical orbit of 500 kilometers in radius. Zafar will have a lifespan of one year and six months and will capture images with a resolution of 80 meters and then transmit them to stations on earth.

That's great, finally we get to see the real thing and not its mock up.

I think it will be ready for a launch in this February.
