IRANIAN SATELLITE LAUNCH DELAYED UNTIL FURTHER Notice.

An official stated that the satellite was scheduled to have launched last week, had passed all tests and there were "no issues for putting it in orbit," but did not clarify why the launch was delayed
The planned launch of Iran's new Zafar satellite has been delayed "in order not to sacrifice accuracy to swiftness," said Morteza Barari, head of the country's national space agency, on Saturday, according to Radio Farda.

The spokesperson of the Iranian Defense Ministry's Space Department stated that the satellite will be launched "at the first
Opportunity.

Yet another failed launch under the Rohanii Administration!!! Clearly an idiotic move to put the Space Program under the communication ministry!

I hope whoever who rushed this launch without resolving the persisting issue is fired.

The upper stage not performing up to spec is a recurring issue. I am betting not enough time was spent in fixing the damn problems.

Upper stage sucks

If the upper stage cant boost 113kg satellite to the necessary speed how can it boost 250kg satellites it was originally designed for?
