Iran successfully launched its domestically produced “Nahid-2” communications satellite into orbit from Russia’s Vostochny Cosmodrome aboard a Soyuz rocket. Weighing 110 kg, the satellite was placed in its designated orbit at 500 km altitude. The launch was part of a multi-satellite mission, which also included Russia’s “Ionosphere-M3” and “Ionosphere-M4” satellites, alongside 18 smaller satellites from other countries.
