]]> TEHRAN (Iran News) – Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Aerospace Force Space Division said Iran has plans to launch satellites into a geosynchronous equatorial orbit (GEO) 36,000 kilometers above the Earth.

In an interview with an Iranian online magazine, Brigadier General Ali Jafarabadi highlighted the IRGC’s success to launch the homegrown Noor satellite into space in April, saying plans have been formulated to reach higher orbits.

He said the IRGC is going to launch satellites into the geostationary orbit which is 36,000 km above the Earth in the coming years.

The GEO is very significant and strategic since the telecommunication and television satellites are placed in this orbit, Iran armed forces chief noted.

The commander said launching an Iranian satellite into the geosynchronous equatorial orbit has economic benefits for the country and would also protect Iran’s space assets.

When a communication satellite is placed in a geostationary orbit, the Earth-based antennas do not have to rotate to track it but can be pointed permanently at the position in the sky where the satellite is located.

The IRGC successfully put Noor (light) into orbit on April 22. The homegrown satellite was launched with a three-stage satellite carrier, dubbed Qassed (messenger), from a launchpad in the Dasht-e Kavir, a large desert in central Iran.

The satellite has been placed into an orbit 425 kilometers above the Earth.

]]> TEHRAN (Iran News) – In a reaction to the launch of Iran’s first military satellite into space, US President Donald Trump on Wednesday said that Washington is closely monitoring Iran.

The United States has assessed that Iran Revolutionary Guards successfully launched a military satellite into orbit for the first time on Wednesday.

Speaking in a news conference at the White House, Trump claimed, “we know more about them than the Iranians themselves.”

“Noor-1” satellite is the first military satellite of the Islamic Republic which was successfully launched by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps [IRGC] on Wed. morning from a three-stage satellite launcher named Qassed [messenger] from the central Iranian desert and was placed into orbit at 425km.

The United States has assessed that Iran successfully launched a military satellite into orbit for the first time on Wednesday, according to two US Defense Department officials, CNN reported.
