Iran has reached new levels of missile, satellite and drone technology, according to Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the IRGC’s aerospace force. Hajizadeh, a key figure in Iran’s missile and drone programs crucial to Iran’s technological successes, gave a speech over the weekend that was discussed in Iranian media. According to Tasnim, he said that Iran is determined to put more satellites into space using a new satellite launch vehicle.

In early November, Iran said it had successfully tested the Ghaem 100 satellite-carrying space launcher, which is capable of carrying 80 kg satellites into orbit. This is a three-stage solid fuel suborbital Satellite carrier. Iran believes this can put satellites into orbit 500km from the earth. This would be near a low earth orbit which is usually around 200-300km from the earth.
