Iran carried out a suborbital test of its Qased satellite carrier on Monday, purportedly aiming to evaluate new technologies under development in the country's space program, Tasnim news agency reported.
According to the report, the launch was designed to assess emerging capabilities in Iran’s aerospace sector. "The results of this test will be used to improve the performance of Iran’s satellites and broader space systems," it said.
The Qased rocket has previously drawn Western concern due to its dual-use potential, capable of delivering satellites or, potentially, ballistic payloads. Iran maintains that its space activities are entirely peaceful.
