Tehran - Iran has launched its first satellite into space, ISNA news agency reported Sunday.
The head of the Iranian Aerospace Research Institute, Mohsen Bahrami, said a locally-made satellite system named Kavesh(search) had been launched.
The report did not specify the exact time of the launch but ISNA believed that it had happened within the last seven weeks.
No further details were disclosed, but Iran has announced several times that it planned to launch a total of five satellites into space to improve local telecommunication.

The Iranians, as well as many other middle easterners, are liars. Their religion even encourages it if it promotes the Islamic agenda.
They didn't launch anything in space. I guarantee it!!!
No confirmation or decision if the launch
is successfull(or the declarations[Iran's
Defense Ministry] are true[I am behind it])
... may never be dislosed to the Zionists.
I hope they soon launch a monkey into space then at least we would be rid of Ahminajihad.

PS Smart Guy
You have no idea how little I care about anything from your backwards arsed, Jew hating, little girl hanging, women raping, medieval patch of sand. All those 'achievements' you mentioned were from before Islam so I guess that tells us all we need to know.
Goose (funny noun in Persian),
The majority of Iranians don't hate Jews.
I have never heared of nor seen any little girls hanged nor seen any mass raping of women.
You must be thinking about the USA.
The US has more prisoners than any other country in the world. Also crime rate is higher in the US than most other countries.
You need to wake up if you think the US is the best country in the world.
BTW enjoy the shrimp.
