TEHRAN: Iran has placed its first home-built satellite in orbit using a Safir-2 rocket in a move likely to raise new concerns in the international community.
"On the 30th anniversary of the Islamic revolution and with the order of the President the national Omid satellite was launched," Fars news agency said.
The first Safir-2 rocket was sent into space in August and its development had raised international concerns over Tehran's nuclear program.
