Report: Iran Built New Rocket Launch Site

September 30, 2013

The report was based on satellite images of the structure, published by IHS Jane's Military and Security Assessments weeks after the Iranian government said it was building new space launch bases for its domestic satellite program.

According to The Telegraph, the new site is close to Iran’s first space center in the northern Semnan province, and analysts' estimates suggest that it is designed to test ballistic missiles using solid fuel rather than launch space rockets, seeing as the site has no storage for the liquid rocket fuel used in the Iranian space program.
