1. Iran's Safir-2 TEL-launched space launcher.

7 July 2015

Safir-2 or Phoenix, full-scale model was unveiled in 2008. The rocket has two liquid propellants stages and can place a 100 kg satellites into orbit or even heavier satellites in orbits below 500 km.

Calculations show that nearly 144 tons of thrust are required to put a satellite of 100 kg at an 500 km orbit. So to achieve this amount of thrust, 4 optimized engine used in the first stage of the Safir-1, each of them developing almost 32 tons force of thrust, the cluster can achieve together a total of about 128 tons-force of thrust.

The Safir-2 is 85 tons at lift-off and controlled by 4 small verniers engines that provide an additional 15 tons of thrust.

However, the final version of Safir-2 will use the 37 tons thrust rocket engine of the Safir-1. [Thus, the total thrust should reach 163 tons.]

Safir-2 is a two-stage liquid fuel, has a total length of 25.97 m, a first stage diameter of 2.4 meters and a length of 17.81 meters. The second stage is 8.15 meters long and has a diameter of 1.5 meters.

The second stage has a 7.2 tons of force thrust

Finally revealed: Simorgh SLV in assembly building

Sat Aug 22, 2015 3:25

President Rouhani visiting an exhibition of the Iranian Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces on August 22, 2015, gave the media the opportunity to have a first close look at the new Safir-2 or Simorgh SLV. Similitude with NADA's Unha class SLV is evident, showing four steering vernier engines in the first stage mounted separately with the four first stage's main engines. An obvious discrepancy with previous official reports.

2013, Okt. 28

Its first stage is powered by four main engines, each generating up to 29,000 kilograms (284.4 kN s.l.) of thrust, plus a fifth which will be used for attitude control, which provides an additional 13,600 kilograms (133.4 kN s.l.) of thrust.

This definitely closes the decade old controversy between German geologist and space enthusiast, Norbert Brugge (an unrealistic dummy joke) and some experts of Armscontrolwonk (TVC via differential thrust throttling).

The second stage now appears to differ from the Safir-1 SLV second stage. Safir-1 second stage was fitted with two fully steerable engines. The Simorgh second stage is made of four fully steerable engines with nozzle extensions and two exhaust tubes each with its own extra nozzle.

What a miscalculation: The Simorgh IRILV is on display again in August 2015 !

Safir-3 SLV or Sepehr

2012, March 05

Although Iran's Simorgh launcher (Safir-2) in the well-known design so far is not been in use, is it already a "phase-out model". A launch of a Simorgh was repeatedly announced and is up to now permanently uncertain.
It imposes itself on the suspicion that the Simorgh rocket, as it is presented, in reality is only an unrealized version of the North Korean Unha.

By some sources it is reported that already a new and stronger launcher Safir-3 (Sepehr) is in development with other new engines.
The "Sepehr" should be in 2015 or 2016 available. It is about 40m high, has a diameter of 3m. The first stage is equipped with new liquid fuel engines. The engines are bigger as the engines of the Safir and Simorgh. Each engine has about 50 tons of thrust. Combustion chamber, turbopump etc are unique, says the source. Further details are not known. However, it is called a total thrust of 300 tons.

Flight Profiles Simorgh IRILV

Calculation of the terminal velocity (dV)

[dV = Isp [Ns/kg] * ln (Mf/Me)]
Therefore are the real dV between 8,055 and 7,470 m/sec just enough for 40 kg payload to LEO.


Calculation of the terminal velocity (dV) with third stage

Therefore are the real dV between 8,160 and 7,615 m/sec enough for 450 kg payload to LEO under the assumption of a third SUS-M1 stage.

I wonder what would change in the Persian's wobbling "space program" with the easing down of political pressure from the West? Maybe they will scrap their missile program on paper and turn it into a open-to-the-world commercial launch service for cubesats and small satellites? :rofl:

After all, given that they have a flight proven rocket in the dozens/hundreds kg category, the Iranians can proclaim that they can be the first in the Islamic world to provide satellite courier services (I mean, beating the Emirates and Qatari and Saudi princes, or Virgin Galactic/Rocket Lab to the finish line!). And given that they have just been able to order a dozen Airbus A380, surely the Western powers might just see this as a peaceful act? ;)

Iran to Unveil New Satellite Carrier Early Next Month

Wed Jan 20, 2016

Iran will unveil a new satellite carrier in early February and will launch a satellite into the space in next Iranian year (to start on March 20), Vice-President for Science and Technology Sorena Sattari said.

"The new satellite launcher will be unveiled on the National Space Day (February 3)," Sattari told FNA on Wednesday.

He said that information and specifications of the new satellite carrier will be announced later.

Simorgh to be launched after mid-April

15 Mar 2016

The Head of Iran’s National Space Center announced that the country would test launch the Simorgh satellite carrier after mid-April 2016 (the second month of the Persian calendar).

He said that the second test launch would follow after mid-November (the 9th month of the Persian calendar). A final test launch should be conducted after mid-March 2017 (the Persian calendar's first month of the year 1396).

He added that less than 10 countries in the world have the capability to design and build a Simorgh class satellite launcher.

Iran’s Space Agency official said that the first generation of the satellite carrier is capable of launching communications and remote sensing satellites with a mass of 100 kg to a 500 km orbit.

The first remote sensing satellite is already produced, with a resolution of 25 meters at a 500km altitude orbit.

Iran conducted a new rocket test

04/19/2016

Russian website "Kommersant" reported that today at noon, the Iranian military carried out a test launch of a rocket. The exact type of the launcher is not yet known, but was recorded by Russian early warning radars system (EWS) in Armavir and Orsk.

The test of the Iranian rocket was successfully conducted according to military sources. According to them, the launch took place at 12:33 Moscow time from the Dasht-e Kavir desert, Semnan launch center and, according to preliminary data, was successful and the head of the rocket fell in the southern part of Iran. "The launch is confirmed by the data obtained by radar detection", said one of the interlocutors, noting that Russian experts are now trying to determine the type of the launch vehicle and its performance.

Officially, the Iranian authorities have not yet announced the test.

Iran Conducts Space Launch

Iran this week conducted the first launch of a new rocket.

The launch of the Simorgh space launch vehicle on Tuesday was judged to be partly successful but did not reach orbit.

“It was either an unsuccessful launch, or a test of third stage” not meant to place a satellite in orbit.

Second test launch of Safir-2

Iran rocket suffered 'catastrophic failure,' likely blew up, US official says

July 28, 2017

A much-hyped Tehran space launch turned out to be a dud, as the Iranian Simorgh rocket suffered a "catastrophic failure" shortly after liftoff on Thursday and likely blew up before it reached space, two U.S. officials told Fox News.

On Thursday, U.S. Strategic Command, which monitors launches around the world, could only confirm a satellite was not deployed from the rocket. But fresh intelligence assessments on Friday confirmed yet another failure by the Islamic Republic in its mission to place an operational satellite into orbit --something Tehran has never done before, despite repeated attempts over the past few years.

Officials have long been concerned the technology used to put a satellite into space could also be repurposed to make a long-range ballistic missile capable of one day potentially hitting the U.S. The Simorgh rocket is based on a North Korean design.

Iran's state media on Thursday claimed the launch was successful, but U.S. spy agencies quickly determined that assessment was more propaganda than fact.

But even though it failed, Iran's attempted rocket launch succeeded in violating United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231, State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said.

Critics of the UN resolution -- which went into effect days after the landmark Iran nuclear agreement two years ago -- say the language is purposefully weak, however, and does not forbid Iran from carrying out such tests. The resolution states Iran is merely "called upon" not to conduct such rocket and missile tests.

Safir-2 LV family evolution

Past speculations found on the internet, but never confirmed.

As of 2021, this new launcher seems more likely related to the Safir-3 family.

Safir-2B SLV

A 9th February 2017 video released on the occasion of the 15th International Conference of Iranian Aerospace Society, reveals first look at CGIs of what appears to be a Safir-2B SLV, made of a Safir-2A first stage with two additional strap-on booster rockets, a streched longer 2nd stage, a new larger diameter payload fairing and the future Saman-2 Upper Stage.
Each strap-on booster might be powered by a single liquid fuel Shahab-3/Rodong uprated engine developing 37-tons thrust.

Safir-2C/D SLV

An addition of a total of four strap-on boosters could further increase the payload capacity of a speculative Safir-2C, doubling the lift-off thrust of the Safir-2A.
Each strap-on booster might be powered by a single liquid fuel Shahab-3/Rodong uprated engine of 37-tons thrust.
This launcher could be adapted to support a manned orbital E1 mission, as the Safir-2D, similar to the Chinese Shuguang-1 and CZ-2A, with only a few orbits and a single astronaut.

Safir-3 SLV

Iran Developing Man-rated Launcher

September 25, 2008

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says "We will soon launch a 16-engine rocket that will take a satellite some 700 km (430 miles) into space,"
http://www.presstv.com/detail.aspx?id=70521&sectionid=3510208

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=578515&page=4

Commentary

If the first stage is made of 4 main engines, plus 4 verniers, plus 4 strap-on boosters, then the second stage could share the 4 remaining smallers engines with an optional third stage, thus totaling the announced 16 engines.

Claiming that a first stage rocket could be made of 10 engines in cluster is simply too far-fetched and ridiculous.

K. N. Toosi University of Technology (KNTU), is the host of the 16th conference, AERO 2017, on February 21–23.

Conference Topics includes:
-Space system design
-Propulsion systems
-etc.

A presentation discussing the Chinese YF-21 liquid propellant engine, is consistent with a hypothesized Chinese evolutionary path for the Safir-3 SLV.

The YF-20 is a Chinese liquid-fuel rocket engine burning N2O4 and UDMH in an gas generator cycle. It is a basic engine which when mounted in a four engine module forms the YF-21. The high altitude variation is known as the YF-22 is normally paired with the YF-23 vernier to form the YF-24 propulsion module for second stages.
The basic engine has been used since the Feng Bao 1 rocket and has been the main propulsion of the Long March 2, Long March 3 and Long March 4 families.

Old picture from 2009 Arirang Mass Games showing probably for the first time ever an unknown uprated launcher with four strap-on rocket boosters!

Seemingly a future man-rated heavy launcher, as a launch abort escape tower is clearly visible atop the launcher.

The length of the strap-on rocket boosters are less than a third of the total rocket length. Rocket possibly made of 3 stages; alternately made of two stages plus a manned spacecraft with Re-entry Vehicle, Service Module and Orbital Module in shroud.

Videos also show the rear bottom part of the launcher, revealing the exact number of rocket engines in the first stage...

In a nutshell, this new launcher might be very similar in conception and performance with the Chinese CZ-2F.

Head of the Iranian Space Agency (ISA) says the agency is ready to set up a national satellite launch center in the country's southeastern region.

“The base will be used as a civil facility and will be active in various fields such as launching navigational and communication satellites as well as biological capsules,” Hamid Fazeli told IRNA on Sunday.

The satellites will be placed in geostationary orbit, near the equatorial zone, in order to reduce expenses of launching and orbit maneuver, he added.

He further noted that the southeastern area of the country is the safest location to establish the base as it is located near the Indian Ocean and has few inhabitants.

Iran becomes second country in the world to create vortex rocket engine

1 October 2012,

Iran has become the second country in the world after the U.S. to make a vortex rocket engine, ISNA reported.

Danesh Bonyan's CEO Saeed Reza Deghani said that this technology has already been around for 11 years, while Iran has managed to reach the U.S. in this regard three years ago.

The vortex rocket engines happen to have many advantages, offering the possibility of: removing complex fuel atomizing machinery in the propellant injectors, eliminating the need for leak-prone cooling passages, extending operational lifetimes of combustion chambers, making combustion-chamber walls using relatively inexpensive and easier to shape materials.

He said that Iran first obtained this technology from the U.S. in 2003, and built its own laboratories in Iran.

Speaking of the differences between this technology in the U.S. and Iran, Deghani noted that Iran made their vortex engines liquid-fueled, with low pressure, while making engines with high pressure would require more financial aid and a construction of a more advanced laboratory.

http://en.trend.az/iran/2071620.html

Used vortex-cooled combustion process to eliminate combustion chamber heating.
rocket engine using methane fuel and oxygen oxidizer.
It required smaller propellant tanks than hydrogen, had higher specific impulse than hydrocarbon fuels such as kerosene
design that provided very high performance - 98 percent of an ideal rocket with no significant chamber heating upstream of the exit nozzle.

Ballistic Missile Procurement for Iran

1/17/2016

Navid Composite was contracting with Asia-based entities to procure a carbon fiber production line in order to produce carbon fiber probably suitable for use in ballistic missile components.

The Shahid Hemmat Industrial Group (SHIG) also coordinates KOMID shipments to Iran. The shipments have included valves, electronics, and measuring equipment suitable for use in ground testing of liquid propellant ballistic missiles and space launch vehicles. Within the past several years, Iranian missile technicians from SHIG traveled to North Korea to work on an 80-ton rocket booster being developed by the North Korean government.

Farahi and Nooshin have been critical to the development of the 80-ton rocket booster, and both traveled to Pyongyang during contract negotiations.

Kim Jong Un Guides Ground Jet Test of New-type High-Power Engine of Carrier Rocket for Geo-stationary Satellite

Kim Jong Un, chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea, chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK and supreme commander of the Korean People's Army, visited the Sohae Space Center to guide the ground jet test of a new type high-power engine of a carrier rocket for the geo-stationary satellite.

The newly developed high-power engine is a single engine whose thrust is 80 tf.

The test was aimed to make a final confirmation of the feature of combustion chamber, operation accuracy of valves and control systems and structural reliability of the engine during 200 seconds-long working time.

Kim Jong Un issued an order to conduct the test.

The moment the engine spewed out huge flames with deafening sound.

The test showed that thrust and other technological indexes of the engine accurately reached the estimated values and the feature values of all systems of the engine remained stable throughout the working time.

The successful manufacture of the engine provided a firm scientific and technological guarantee for developing and completing the carrier rocket for geo-stationary satellite during the 5-year program for national aerospace development and made it possible to acquire sufficient carrier capability for launching various kinds of satellites including earth observation satellite at a world level.

He expressed great satisfaction over the results of the test and highly praised the officials and scientists and technicians of the National Aerospace Development Administration for having successfully and devotedly carried out the task given by the Party in a short span of time.

The space science and technology and the space industry are an important barometer for estimating the national power, he said, calling for more dynamically paving the avenue to space conquest by conducting in real earnest the work for developing the space in order to fulfill the 5-year program for national aerospace development.

The development and use of space are an important policy of our Party and an important work for which the state should make sustained efforts, he said, adding that the National Aerospace Development Administration should carry out the space development with a main emphasis on the satellite development and manufacture and launch more satellites for different uses by indigenous efforts and technology and thus turn our country into a possessor of geostationary satellites in a couple of years to come.

On that day, a table was placed at the observation station installed near the static test stand, and a large explanatory drawing was spread on the table. As you can see in <Picture 1>, the commentary was titled "Paektusan 80 tf liquid rocket". The title of the commentary shows that the new high-power liquid rocket engine developed and completed by North Korea is a liquid rocket engine of the Paektusan series. Here, the term predicts that other high-power liquid rocket engines with improved performance, named Paektusan, will be developed in sequence.

In this regard, it can be seen that the high-power liquid rocket engine developed and completed by North Korea is the first liquid rocket engine of the Paektusan series, and its name is Paektusan-1 according to the North Korean naming practice. If we develop a modified version of the Paektusan-type liquid rocket engine, which will further improve the performance of the aerospace industry, it will be called Paektusan-2.

The Korean engine is neither related to the Russian R-27 design technology, nor R-29 design technology.
Raising the Chinese connection theory and the Iranian connection theory is nonsense.

"Paektusan 80 tf liquid rocket" is written in red.
The title of the explanatory note indicates that the high-power liquid rocket engine developed and completed at this time is 80 ton-force liquid rocket engine. © Ju Shobo and Han Ho Seok



...
If 80 tonnes force is converted to kilo Newton, it is 784.5kN.
The thrust referred to in this article refers to the thrust generated when the rocket engine is operated on the ground (not operating in a vacuum of outer space).
...
since the thrust of Paektusan-1 is 784.5KN, if you build a rocket by attaching 4 rocket engines, you get total thrust of 3,138kN. The 3,138 kN is a tremendous force enough to bring large, heavy payloads of up to 6,000 kilograms into a low earth orbit.
...
It is noted that the burne time of Chinese YF-20B is 128 seconds and the burne time of Russian RD-117 is 118 seconds, whereas the burne time of Paeksutsan-1 is 200 seconds. This indicates that the Paektusan-1 has a much longer burne time than the other two by comparison. It can be seen that the new type of satellite carrier rocket to be fitted with the Paektusan-1 is a satellite carrier rocket flying farther over the earth's orbit. It is predicted that the new satellite carrier rocket to be fitted with Paektusan-1 will send a satellite to a GEO of 35,786 km.

May 2, 2015 photo from General Satellite Control Center's exhibition room.
"I emphasize it is my wish to solve the communications problems by developing geostationary satellites."
It is the will of the forerunner of Chairman Kim Jong Il that North Korea launches geostationary satellites.


On April 17, 2015, Russia's ITAR-TASS news agency quoted Park Kyung Su, the chief of the Korean space agency, as saying, "Now the Korean researchers are engaged in the production of Earth observation satellites and GEO communication satellites ".
...
The aerospace industry will not only launch GEO communication satellites, but will also produce more powerful GEO military satellites.
...
According to a July 22, 2015 report, the height of the Sohae launch pad vertical gantry tower, which was enlarged by North Korea, is 67 meters. This suggests that it is possible to launch a large satellite-carrier rocket with a length of more than 50 meters.

2017-03-20

The biggest achievement made by North Korea was to replace the Red fuming nitric acid (RFNA)/kerosene propellants of the Rodong engines with RFNA/UDMH propellants in the Paektusan-1 engine.

But in this test, it still fails to show progress in thrust vector control (TVC) technologies

http://view.inews.qq.com/a/20170320A0AZKV00

2016/02/15

The fact that North Korea is developing geostationary satellites means that it is building a communication satellite with a mass of 2,500kg and it means that the new launcher is about 50m in length and 3.5m in diameter.

http://www.jajusibo.com/sub_read.html?uid=25927&section=sc38&section2

Commentary

With four 80-ton-thrust Paektusan-1 main engines, 1 four chambers steering engine, and four additional 80-ton-thrust Paektusan-1 strap-on boosters, the first stage of a future Korean manned space launcher could easily develop more than 640 tons of thrust at liftoff, enough for a 400 tons launcher.

In comparison, the Chinese CZ-2F has a mass of about 498.4 tons and its four 75-ton-thrust main engines and four 75-ton-thrust strap-on boosters develop a total of 592.3-ton-thrust at liftoff, able to put a 8.60 tons spacecraft into LEO.

This 80-ton-thrust engine has surpassed the Chinese CZ-2 class' engines and also the future South Korean 75-ton-thrust engine.
What a slap in the face!

Kim Jong Un Observed the Ground Jet Test of a New High-Thrust Rocket Engine

Kim Jong Un, chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea, chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK and supreme commander of the Korean People's Army, watched the ground jet test of Korean-style high-thrust engine newly developed by the Academy of the National Defence Science. After being told about the production of the new-type high-thrust engine, he personally visited the Sohae Satellite Launching Ground at dawn to learn in detail about the technical specifications of the engine and preparations for the test and guided it. The test was conducted to confirm the overall technical indices of the engine such as features of thrust power in the combustion chamber, accurate movement of turbine pump, control system and various valves and their structural safety and reliability. He mounted an observation post and gave an order to start the test. The results of the test confirmed the stable maintenance of technical indices of all systems such as starting and stopping features of a new-type high-thrust engine of Korean style designed and manufactured by the defense scientists and technicians by their own efforts and with indigenous technology, the features of the thrust power in the combustion chamber, turbine pump, control systems in the whole course of engine operation after accurately reaching the expected values, and the perfect guarantee of their structural reliability. . He noted that the success made in the current test marked a great event of historic significance as it declared a new birth of the Juche-based rocket industry which has radically turned into a development-and creation-oriented industry both in name and in reality by completely doing away with dogmatism, conservatism and formalism left in the field of rocket industry and the dependence on the technology of other countries. He emphasized that the whole world will soon witness what eventful significance the great victory won today carries. The development and completion of a new-type high-thrust engine would help consolidate the scientific and technological foundation to match the world-level satellite delivery capability in the field of outer space development, he noted, adding with pleasure that today when a great leaping forward has been made in the development of the rocket industry is the day to be always remembered, a historic day which can be called "March 18 revolution". He said that the field of munitions industry made a series of unprecedented successes this year as it did last year, instilling dynamism into the grand revolutionary advance of all the service personnel and people. Then he had a significant photo session with the officials, scientists and technicians in the field of defense science who took part in the test. He was accompanied by Ri Pyong Chol, Kim Jong Sik and other leading officials of the C.C. the WPK and scientists and technicians in the field of rocket research.

Paektusan-1B(?) rocket engine configuration flight test

First flight-tested in Hwasong-12's first stage configuration

May. 15, Juche 106 (2017) Monday

According to the order of Kim Jong Un, the new rocket Hwasong-12 was launched at 04:58 on Sunday.

The rocket accurately hit the targeted open waters 787km away after flying to the maximum altitude of 2 111.5km along its planned flight orbit.

The test-fire proved to the full all the technical specifications of the rocket, which was newly designed in a Korean-style by defence scientists and technicians, like guidance and stabilization systems, structural system and pressurization, inspection and launching systems and reconfirmed the reliability of new rocket engine under the practical flight circumstances.

with a total flight time of 30 minutes and 11 seconds.


http://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/article/Article.aspx?aid=3033467




2017/05/20

Aeronautics Professor Jang Young Keun, a rocket specialist, commented that the Hwasong-12 first tested on 14 May 2017, was a massive rocket with a thrust close to 100 tons.
And he went on:
"Actually, when I saw the video footage of the launch, it was very fast and it disappeared in only 36-seconds.
The Hwasong-7 aka Scud ER, tested in 4 consecutive launches, took about two minutes to disappear.
It is highly likely that North Korean engineers have applied the multi-staged combustion cycle method to drive the turbopump and thus dramatically improve the fuel efficiency.

In this test, North Korea announced that it had finished verification of the pressurization system. The more the fuel is injected into the combustion chamber at a higher pressure, the higher the propellant force. The turbopump is operated to increase the pressure.

And the fuel that was driving this turbo pump is sent to the combustion chamber again, to be burned and increasing the thrust. It is called the multi-stage combustion system.

When it was first disclosed on March 18, 2017, Western experts said it would take 2-3 years to apply it to a missile. North Korea succeeded in launching it in less than two months."


http://jajusibo.com/sub_read.html?uid=33679&section=sc3&section2=



North Korea has spent nearly 20 years to develop this engine

2017.03.23

According to a North Korean 1999 rocket engine schematic, which was captured on July 22, the turbo pump, which compresses and distributes fuel, including four engines and auxiliary engines, is shown as in the test of March 18, 2017. This schematic was found on the North Korean cargo ship Kuwolsan, which was suspected of carrying missile parts in June 1999 and was detained in India.
Considering that North Korea had already obtained the design in the mid-90s, before the schematic was captured, it means that it took North Koreans at least 20 years to develop the engine.

By clustering four [Rodong] engines, the output may be unstable and the engine efficiency is low," thus "To overcome these shortcomings, North Korea developed the new [Paektusan-1] engine."

Measurement of Sohae static test stand with Google Earth


Rough measurement of the Eastern/Western facade of the first level of the Sohae static test stand, using Google Earth indicates a lenght of about ~12.64 meters.

The Eastern/Western facade balustrade is made of 6 distinct assembled parts, each subdivided in 12 vertical rectangles by 11 balusters (a vertical member used between railing and tread or floor, adding safety, support and stability to the balustrade).

http://ipic.su/img/img7/fs/C7WpQuuU8AEE5Fn.1490977332.jpg

The engine nozzle spans about 4 balusters, thus has a ~70 cm diameter, obviously larger than a Rodong engine! QED
Estimation more consistent with the ~90 cm measured by South Korean media (http://www.jajusibo.com/sub_read.html?uid=29662&section=sc38)

The rocket's 2nd stage spans about 10 balusters and has a ~1.75 cm diameter
By using the South Korean 90 cm engine diameter estimation, then the rocket stage would be 2.25 cm, consistant with the speculations on a 2.2 meters diameter second stage of a future LV's through photogrammetric measurements of the vertical gantry tower from video of February 2016 Unha-3 used to launch Kwangmyongsong-4.

Evolution of North Korean and Iranian LVs second stages

The Safir-1 LV's second stage disclosed in 2008 is designed with two vernier engines.

The second stage of the Safir-2A disclosed in 2015 is powered by four vernier engines, developing a total of 7.2 tons of thrust.
The Unha-3's second stage as revealed in a February 2016 video is more likely made of one (or even two) main engines with 4 verniers.

The second stage of a Safir-3/[Unha-9?] could be powered by a single modified 100 tons thrust Paektusan-1B engine and four vernier engines, all feeded by a single common turbopump.
The single longer exhaust pipe is also fitted with its own expansion nozzle to further increase the overall thrust, feature first introduced in 2010 on the Safir-1B's second stage, and present in all follow-up LVs such as the 2015 Safir-2A's second stage.

1. Possible scale model of Sepehr-1A space launcher, maybe at the Chabahar SLC or even Imam Khomeini SLC but with some major discrepancies.

To be launched from Imam Khomeini SLC (IKSLC) LC-2.

Safir-3B Qoqnoos space launch vehicle

Please note that the augmented version of the Safir-3A/Sepehr-1A «سپهر» space launcher, with two additional liquid propellant strap-on boosters should be named Safir-3B or Qoqnoos «ققنوس» (Sepehr-1B) !

4. Screen capture from video of an Iranian Safir-3A augmented with two strap-on rocket boosters and seemingly called Safir-3B or Qoqnoos.

A 9th February 2017 video released on the occasion of the 15th International Conference of Iranian Aerospace Society, reveals first look at CGIs of what appears to be a Safir-3B SLV, made of a Safir-3A first stage with two additional strap-on booster rockets, and the future Saman-2 Upper Stage.
Each strap-on booster might be powered by a single liquid fuel uprated engine developing 80-tf of thrust.

Safir-3C Sarir space launch vehicle

According to this translator:

2:25 AM · Jan 30, 2020·Twitter

Overview of the new Iranian SLV projects announced by AIO spokesman Ahmad Hosseini

• The next SLV in the pipeline is Sarir, which is based on Simorgh but will have a new upper stage. Overall length will be about 35m with a diameter of 2.4m for the whole length of the missile.

• Soroush is a project planned for the more distant future and will be a liquid-propellant SLV with a diameter of 4m.

• Hosseini also mentioned that they are pursuing solid-propellant SLV technology to 'reduce prices' and stated that he hopes 'this can be published in the future'

Official: Iran Plans to Send 1-ton Satellite into Orbit by 2024

Mon Feb 03, 2020 11:43

TEHRAN (FNA)- Head of the Iran Space Agency (ISA) Morteza Barari announced plans to orbit satellites which weigh 1,000kg by 2024.

"We will be able to send 1,000-kg satellites to the orbit from 2022 to 2024," Barari said in an interview with the state TV on Sunday night.

He also revealed plans to send satellites into geostationary orbit, which is a circular orbit around 36,000 kilometers (22,320 miles) above the Earth's equator, noting that they will be carried by home-made Soroush satellite carrier.

"This step will start on 2024 and we hope to accomplish it by 2026," Barari said.

Iran's Atlas-Mercury SLV: Sarir-C

New hint from Iran, indicating that the I.R.I. is not only still running in the manned space race, but already actively working on its first orbital single-seater launcher, the manned Sarir (Sarir-C, an unofficial name by Soheil_Esy for more clarity), equivalent in its role to the U.S. Atlas-Mercury launcher!

1. New image published in Iran representing a space shuttle. December 2020.

Indeed, the image published is representing a space shuttle, indicating its role in manned missions.

But this is not new from Iran. An Iranian Space Shuttle has previously figured prominently in a huge graphic that was displayed during the month of January 2019 in Tehran's Valiasr Square.

2. An Iranian Space Shuttle has figured prominently in a huge graphic that is currently (January 2019) displayed in Tehran's Valiasr Square. The billboard is running in conjunction with the 40th anniversary of the Iranian Revolution.
Note that Sardar Shahid Hajj General Hassan Tehrani Moghaddam, the father of Iran's space program is depicted bringing a treasure trove of [NK] blueprints to his fellow countrymen!
The letters IRGM indicating that the project is run by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (Missile Force?). 17 January 2019.


This second iteration signals the near fruition of the Iranian manned space endeavour, that is, enough to reach the disclosure to the public:

• It is fitted with two strap-on boosters, similar to the Sarir-C.

• The core booster is larger, and painted mainly in white color.

• The shuttle itself and the other rockets show also partly a new color scheme never used before by Iran. The reddish orange has only been displayed once before: during the parade of the North Korean Hwasong-16 ICBM.

Only once before did both North Korea and Iran display the same color scheme: a lighter orange painted both on the Safir-2 SLV and the North Korean environmental shroud of the Sohae Space Center's gantry tower.

6. North Korea and Iran displaying the same color scheme: a lighter orange painted both on the Safir-2 SLV and the North Korean environmental shroud of the Sohae Space Center's gantry tower.

This can not be mistaken, as the strong message sent to the world is that both nations are continuing to cooperate in developing more powerful space launchers, such as the first Atlas-Mercury-class rockets (Sarir-C), and beyond, the Long March 2F-class 3-seaters manned rocket (Safir-4)!

Manned Space Launcher

As a common practice, both Iran's and the Turkish manned space launchers are represented with a fanciful gap between the carrier rocket and the manned spacecraft.
