Coinciding with the Vienna talks and the Islamic Republic of Iran’s four defeats in launching a satellite over the past four years, the regime’s Ministry of Defense announced on Thursday (December 29th) a “successful launch” of Simorgh or Phoenix satellite missile, that crashed minutes after launch in Shahrdaraz village in Iranshahr city, Sistan and Baluchestan province!<\/p>\n
Ahmad Hosseini, a space spokesman for the Islamic regime’s Ministry of Defense, said that for the first time, the satellite launched three research payloads simultaneously at an altitude of 470 kilometers at a speed of 7,350 meters per second.<\/p>\n
A spokesman for the regime’s Ministry of Defense was forced to confirm the crash with the release of videos taken by locals of the wreckage of the Simorgh satellite. Ahmad Hosseini, a spokesman for the space department of the Ministry of Defense and the Armed Forces Support of the regime, said in a televised interview that the missile could not reach the speed required to deploy the cargo in orbit. He said that the simorgh rocket needs to reach a speed of more than 7,600 meters per second to place its payload, adding that they have finally reached a speed of 7,350 meters per second.<\/p>\n
In July of this year, CNN reported the fourth consecutive failure to launch a Simorgh missile, but Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi, the then Minister of Communications and Information Technology, denied the news.<\/p>\n
Earlier, a spokesman for the Ministry of Defense’s aerospace organization said: The cost of the simorgh satellite is equivalent to $3.5 million!<\/p>\n"},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
