Iran successfully launched a satellite into a 750 km orbit from the earth by using the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp's Qaim 100 satellite carrier.
The Soraya satellite was placed in an orbit at 750 kilometers (about 460 miles) above the Earth's surface with a three-stage satellite carrier provided by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp (IRGC) named Qa'im 100.
