The picture looks like they sent a speaker on top of a rolling table into space. Hmmm We can probably learn a lot from this.

wow..I wonder what it does, probably mostly surveillance.

That is clearly photoshopped.

Based on the picture, they've mastered solid AND liquid fuel technology in one go?

Or did Thiokol sell them extra Shuttle SRB parts?

staplermofo: That is clearly photoshopped.

Looks like they GISed three completely random objects.

Good thing they put wheels on it so that the orbit will be a bit smoother.

Do they point it at Mecca 5 times per orbit?

Oh Lord ! They are NOT even trying any more ! They're rocket forces program are now entirely Photoshop-based !

Hurr hurr they're our rivals.

SHIA IN SPAAAAAAAAAAACE!

Grab a clipart of a waste water tank....attach an Iranian flag and some Hazmat stickers....and...VIOLA !!!! You have a satelite !!!

That cracked my ass up

The message said the launching marks the second instance of successful tentative firing of such rockets (may God hasten its reentry).

Okay, so I edited that a bit (may God hasten my next paycheck) ;)

Good for them! Not a big fan of ITAR.

It appears that they sent up some kind of water heater & speakers. If that doesn't make God hasten the reappearance of Hazrat Mahdi then I don't know what will.

Did you guys notice you can send them comments. AS a bonus you can just make up an E-mail address and it will accept the comments. Have fun I know I am.

Next week we are putting our first astronaut on Mars (May God Hasten His Reappearance).

Funny, but their satellite kind of looks like a bulls-eye to me...

Great, only forty years behind the times! Are the going to discover microwaves soon?

It did look familiar!

Hazrat Mahdi can suck a fat one. (May God Hasten His Reappearance For That)

My god. Who would do such a despicable thing?

More like fifty years....

Do you think Iran is going to use real Photoshop?
I'm calling MS Paint, GIMP, or Photoshop 7 Kazaa edition at best.

Good for them. It is encouraging to see aerospace development around the globe.

I thought we were done with browser windows that resize themselves to the entire dimensions of your screen?

This is what happens when you only have one book to read.

If you use Firefox you can disable that. Look for Enable Javascript in the Preference and then ADVANCED settings.

Here's a better picture of the rocket (new window)in question, nothing on the sattelite yet.

Yeah, it's an old picture, want to fight about it?

GaryPDX: wow..I wonder what it does, probably mostly surveillance.

I'm going to guess it blows itself up near other satellites.

I may be going out on a limb here.

Did anyone notice that the "solid rocket boosters" on either side of the "external tank" are not even identicle? One appears to be a Minuteman missile, the other is a Soviet-era SS-who-knows (obviously not to scale, whatever the common scale of this menagerie is).

Nice job... they can still trace you. Incoming!!!

Who cares, they're still years behind us in the space race. In fact, as soon as we finish the SS life support, we'll win a space race victory within 20 turns. Pussies.

Congratulations for reaching the 1950s Iran. :) Watch out for the 60s though, that civil rights things is gonna suck pretty bad for the whole Islam thing.

So along with all the usual space junk, future space missions will have to watch out for loose carpet fibers.

Next year, they'll launch this one ;)

I have to admit that submitting a post on that website was fun. That country becomes more of a parody every day. Thanks for the laugh, subby.
