WATCH: Russia launches Iranian satellite to space

Описание: A Soyuz 2.1b rocket lifted off from Vostochny Cosmodrome on Friday (July 25), carrying Russia's Ionosfera-M 3 and 4 satellites to the orbit, the Russian space agency Roscosmos reported.

Ionosfera-M satellites are part of a constellation that is being built to monitor the Earth’s ionosphere and the Sun, among other things. The constellation will include a total of four Ionosfera-M satellites. The first pair of satellites was launched on November 5, 2024.

Along with Ionosfera-M, the carrier rocket orbits 18 small satellites, including Nahid-2 -a telecommunications satellite manufactured by the Iranian space research centre, the Russian news agency TASS reported. The payload also includes nine small Geoskana spacecraft. They will make photographs, track down aircraft and vessels and study space processes, TASS said.
Vostochny Cosmodrome is operated by the Russian space agency Roscosmos and is primarily a spaceport used for civilian launches.
