On February 2, 2009, Iran launched its first satellite, the Omid, into orbit using a modified domestically manufactured long-range missile.

The Omid communications satellite was launched aboard a Safir 2 rocket.

Mahmoudzadeh said the remote sensing Fajr satellite, which weighs 50 kilograms, has the features of an advanced radar system.

The images sent by the satellite can be used in the fields of topography and meteorology, he added.
