TEHRAN, 2012, March 05 -- Information by Mehdi Farahi, Director of the Aerospace Industry Organization:
Safir-2A is the first version of Safir-2 with the name of
Simorgh. Length of it is 26 m, diameter of it is around 2.5 m and weight of it is around 86 tons. Thrust of is around 143 tons. It can put 100 kg satellites into 500 km altitude orbits.
The next our step is Safir-3A (Sepehr) and Safir-3B (Sarir) that can put 1,000 kg satellites into 1,000 km altitude orbits. If could add micro thrusters and some side equipments to it, it can put payloads into 36,000 km altitude orbits.
The design and production of satellite carrier rockets with a range of 1,000 kilometers are given a high priority in the country’s Five-Year Development Plan (2010-2015).
Iran aims to send other satellites into geostationary orbits, around 36,000 kilometers above the Earth's equator, after the end of the country’s Five-Year Development Plan.
TEHRAN, 2013, Dec. 08 -- The Chairman of the Materials and Energy Research Center Hassan Karimi said, the country will send its first home-made national communication satellite into orbit by 1397 Iranian calendar year (March 2018 - March 2019).
Karimi added that Iran’s Simorgh satellite-carrier will be sent into orbit in the spring of 2014, and noted that
Sarir ultra-heavy satellite-carrier is another space project due to be launched in 1394 (March 2015 - March 2016).
If it ever exists... no design (except yours ) , no info , no unveil ( without a single launch one does not simply talk about its payload ) and if the so called sepehr is just a safir 1 with some boosters then let me tell you it can't put anything more than 200 kg into orbit.... It seems that qoqnoos is cancelled too . And i am happy if they cancel all these safir simorgh sepehr and put their energy, time and money on something practical ( maybe qaem ) with 500+ kg payload and 500+ km stable orbit .
You designed it as sepehr . right ?

My design based on simorgh with a new 2nd stage & solid strap on boosters ...
Safir-3 is the first Iranian professional carrier ...
