Iran launched the Doosti, or "friendship" satellite this week, Iran's deputy minister of defense said.
They used a Safir, or "ambassador," rocket in the launch, IRNA reported.
The Doosti is a remote-sensing satellite developed by engineers at Tehran’s Sharif University of Technology.
A launch in January failed to put another satellite, Payam or "message," into orbit after successfully launching it from the same space center. In the January launch, engineers used a Simorgh, or "phoenix," rocket.
