/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Iran has announced that after many years of waiting,
right to launch the second Iranian satellite will be conferred on Italy
instead of Russia. Iranian representatives complain about Russia's
constantly delaying the launch of "Mesbah communication satellite"
under plausible pretexts.
Italy and Iran agreed to cooperate in 2003. Their joint efforts
increased due to the introduction of "laboratory model". In 2005,
Russia agreed to launch the satellite on "Kosmos-3" carrier rocket,
but failed to keep the promise.
Omid (hope), first Iranian satellite, was launched on February 2,
2009. It used modernized ballistic rocket of local production. Some
Iranian media reported on its "successful landing." However,
other media report that the satellite bearing 8 aerials continues
flying in airless space to the benefit of Iranian national economy,
