Iran Launches Qaem-100 Satellite on Guard Rocket
Iran says a solid-fuel three stage rocket launched from Shahroud carried the Chamran-1 satellite into a 340 mile orbit. Officials call the test a success amid regional tensions and ongoing uranium enrichment concerns. The Qaem-100 is the second such launch for orbital testing, with imagery suggesting the lift from a Guard launch pad.
