The Iranian Ministry of Defense announced that the Zuljanah satellite rocket, which was tested for the first time in February last year, has been tested for the second time. In the statement made by the Ministry, it was stated that the solid-fueled Zülcenah rocket weighs 220 kilograms and has a carrying capacity of 500 kilometers, and that the launch was successful.
IT CAME AFTER THE NEWS
It was noteworthy that Iran launched the satellite after the news that the negotiations to return to the nuclear agreement with the USA would resume.
US ADMINISTRATION IS CONCERNED
The US administration is concerned about these steps by Tehran, on the grounds that it may install nuclear warheads on satellite carriers.
Iran launched a rocket called Simorg into space in January, and the satellite’s orbital mission failed due to the rocket’s inability to reach sufficient speed. (UAV)
