500kg for Sarir and 1000kg for Soroush...not impressed...this is what happens when you continue playing with Scud engines based on low energy propellants.

Waiting for Qaem solid fuel SLV

And hope it can deliver more than a tonn to LEO

1000kg to GEO is better than nothing. That means it can put a decent amount of satellites at once in LEO as well.

Soroush can put 1000kg in GEO not LEO.

Soroush can put 1000kg in GEO not LEO.

If Soroush can put 1000kg into GEO, it might be able to put 3000kg into LEO which is not bad

We need to elaborate claim of 1000kg to GEO....

Soroush appears to be the same Sarir, but with slightly prolonged 1st and 2nd stage plus 4 booster in the first stage---it might be easy to build after Sarir is test proven

Iran Plans to Send 1-ton Satellite into Orbit by 2024
https://en.farsnews.ir/newstext.aspx?nn=13981114000268

According to this article Iran will launch 1 ton satellite into space in a period from 2022-2024....it is obvious that SLV that will launch it will be Sarir----so claims that Sarir can put 500kg into LEO are wrong.---actual payload to LEO appears to be 1 ton.

IF Sarir can put 1 ton into LEO---what might be the payload of Sourush which will be available from 2026?

Incompetence is a plague affecting all levels of Iranian government from their handling of flight 752 to this. How hard is it to get qualified and experienced people to do the job?
