"The launch vehicle successfully launched the Zafar satellite into space, but the rocket could not gain the necessary speed in order to put it into orbit," the message said.
At the same time, Iran received the necessary data to optimize the process at its next launch attempt.
In late August, the Associated Press reported a rocket explosion at the Iranian spaceport, where the launch of the Nahid 1 satellite was supposed to take place.
The Iranian government later said that the incident occurred on a test site, and not where the launches take place.
