Iranians have sucess to send before the monkey, a space ship with turtle and worms

Monkey was sent to study zero-gravity conditions' effects on organs.

Iran's plan is to send an astronaut to moon by 2025. :pop:

Well, Iran got one up on Israel now, that too without getting the US to back it up.

New SSLV called Ghaem 100 from Iran (sub-orbital test only though).
Iran tests satellite-carrying rocket
Iran, which has one of the biggest missile programmes in the Middle East, has had several failed satellite launches in the past few years, blamed on technical issues

Iran's Revolutionary Guards tested a new satellite-carrying rocket on Saturday, state media reported, a development likely to anger the United States.
Washington fears the same long-range ballistic technology used to put satellites into orbit could also be used to launch nuclear warheads. Tehran has regularly denied having any such intention.
"The flight test of this satellite carrier with a solid-fuelled engine ... was successfully completed," state news agency IRNA reported.
The Ghaem 100, Iran's first three-stage launch vehicle, will be able to place satellites weighing 80 kg in an orbit of 500 km from the earth's surface, IRNA said.
Amirali Hajizadeh, head of the Revolutionary Guards' aerospace division which developed the Ghaem 100, said the rocket would be used to launch Iran's Nahid satellite for the telecommunications ministry, state media reported.
Saturday's operation tested the first sub-orbital stage of the rocket, the reports added.
Iran, which has one of the biggest missile programmes in the Middle East, has had several failed satellite launches in the past few years, blamed on technical issues.
A U.N. resolution in 2015 called on Iran to refrain for up to eight years from work on ballistic missiles designed to deliver nuclear weapons following an agreement with six world powers.
Iran says it has never pursued the development of nuclear weapons and, therefore, the resolution does not apply to its ballistic missiles, which Tehran had described as an important deterrent and retaliatory force.

Complete list of all the Iranian launch systems (designs & concepts)
  1. Safir-1 (50 kg to LEO) - No longer in use, 1B variant in development
  2. Sarir-1 (1000 kg to LEO) - Concept only - Cancelled
  3. Simorgh aka Safir - 2 (800 kg to 200km, 250 kg to 500 km LEO) - Under development (Repeated failures) - Similar to Israeli Shavit and Skyroot's Vikram
  4. Qased (50kg to 500 km LEO) - In service
  5. Zuljanah (220 kg to LEO) - Solid fuel rocket (Suboribtal testing)
  6. Qonoos SLV (3500 kg to LEO, 1500 kg to GTO) - First Medium SLV from Iran (equivalent to PSLV) - Propsoed in 2013 - No progress whatsover
  7. Soroush-1 & 2 (8000 kg to 15000 kg to LEO) - Propsoed concepts only - Equivalent to GSLV Mk III and LVM3-SC.

IRCG's space program is just moving ahead like that of USSR's and PRC's with spin off from and to missile technologies.

It's Iran's limited resources, industrial base and experience what has hold back them from making a medium SLV. Nevertheless, they are churning out multiple SSLVs based on various engines, fuels and number of stages to gain expertise like China did in its early days of space program.

Launch preparations and launch video of Ghaem 100, Iran's new orbital rocket (80 kg to SSO), transportable on road mobile launcher like ICBMs (looks like China's Kuiatzhou equivalent).
Music is good though.
@Swesh @Vamsi @Lonewolf What would be the orbital payload of DRDO's DSLV (Veda missile)?
Correction*
80 kg to 500 kms LEO and not SSO.
And this one is a suborbital launch. Orbital launch of rocket is yet to take place.
