Tehran, Jan 14 (AFP\/APP):Iran’s Revolutionary Guards tested last week a solid-fuel satellite carrier rocket, state media has reported quoting the force’s aerospace commander as saying.<\/p>\n

Reports carried footage released by the elite force claiming to show the successful test of the rocket’s primary propulsion engine.<\/p>\n

The test marked the first time Iran used a solid-fuel rocket rather than a liquid-fuel one, the Guards’ aerospace commander Brigadier General Amirali Hajizadeh said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Iran can now send more satellites into space, he said, according to the reports carried by state media.<\/p>\n

Solid-fuel rockets can be used for mobile launchers while pure solid-fuel rockets are mostly linked to ballistic missiles systems.<\/p>\n

“The new Iranian satellites are made of non-metallic, composite bodies with non-moving propellants, which will further increase the rocket’s energy and save costs,” Hajizadeh said, according to state news agency IRNA.<\/p>\n

The test came amid the on-going negotiations in Vienna that aim to revive Tehran’s 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.<\/p>\n

Iran successfully put its first military satellite into orbit in April 2020, drawing a sharp rebuke from Washington.<\/p>\n

The United States has repeatedly voiced concern that such launches could boost Iran’s ballistic missile technology.<\/p>\n

But Iran insists it is not seeking nuclear weapons and that its satellite and rocket launches are for defensive purposes only.<\/p>\n

It was not clear when the latest test took place last week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
