Posted: Fri, Apr 24, 2020, 10:32 AM ET (1432 GMT)
Iran announced Wednesday that it launched a small military satellite into orbit. The country's Revolutionary Guard said the three-stage Qased rocket placed a satellite called Noor into a 425-kilometer orbit. It did not disclose details about Noor, including its size or mission, but the US military later confirmed the satellite was in orbit. Iran had not previously disclosed development of Qased, which the Iranian government said used a combination of liquid- and solid-fuel engines.
