Iran launched a second domestically-built Kavoshgar 2 (Explorer 2) rocket into space in line with its efforts to advance its space program last Wednesday according to Iranian state television. The booster appears to be a military Shahab-3 ballistic missile, which is 56 feet long.
On February 4, Iran announced the launch of the first Kavoshgar and said afterwards that the rocket had reached an altitude of 125 miles before returning to earth. There were conflicting reports as to the mission's goals and success rate.
