Iran launched a new observation satellite into space on Friday, official Iranian news agency IRNA reported.
Head of Iran’s Space Organization Hamid Fazeili said that the Navid satellite was launched successfully, and “will be placed into orbit between 250 and 270 kilometers,” IRNA quoted him as saying.
This is the third satellite Iran has launched into space, the last one released in June, when Israel expressed concerned that Tehran’s space program was cover for the development of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) that could carry nuclear warheads.
The Islamic Republic’s Arabic language Al- Alam television channel reported that the second satellite launched was called Rasad 1, “observation” in Farsi.
In February 2009, Iran launched the Omid satellite, “hope” in Farsi. Israel closely tracked the missile launch with various sensors, including the X-Band radar that the US stationed in the Negev in late 2008.

It is of some interest that the Iranian Navid satellite passes over the geographic center of America,near a major grid connect facility. You may want to buy a flashlight and extra batteries in the near future in the continental USA, in case you are thinking about EMP.
