Feb. 4 - Iran launches test rocket, preparing to send satellite into orbit.
Iran has launched a rocket designed to send its first home-made research satellite into orbit in the next year, state television said. The move is likely to add to Western concerns about Tehran's nuclear plans.
The ability to put satellites into orbit could indicate an advance in the Islamic Republic's missile technology.
State media said the satellite, called Omid, which means Hope, would be launched by March 2009.
