Iran Successfully launched an Observation Satellite into Orbit above Earth

Iran on 3 February 2012 successfully launched an observation satellite called navid satellite into orbit above Earth. It will be placed into an orbit at an altitude between 250 and 370 kilometres. The weight of the satellite is 50-kilogram and it is meant to stay in orbit for 18 months.
Western nations are worried about Iran’s space programme because they fear that it could be used to develop ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads
