by Jeremy Binnie
Iran attempted a second, previously unreported satellite launch in June, the United States ambassador to the United Nations revealed in a letter to the UN Security Council that was released on 30 August.
“On 12 June the United States became aware that Iran had launched a space launch vehicle [SLV], but that the vehicle failed to accomplish its mission of placing a satellite into orbit,” the letter said. “In addition, on 21 June Iran launched a Simorgh space launch vehicle, but the launch did not successfully place a satellite into orbit.”
