Iran successfully launched its heaviest space payload on Friday, consisting of the Fakhr-1 telecommunications satellite and the Saman-1 space tug, weighing 300 kilograms. The Saman-1 is designed to move satellites from lower orbits to higher ones. This launch is a significant step toward improving Iran's ability to transfer satellites into higher orbits. The system was first introduced in 2017 and tested in 2022. The launch used a domestically developed satellite carrier, marking a milestone in Iran's space capabilities.
