Iran rocket launch fails to put satellite into orbit

Jan. 15 (UPI) -- Iran attempted to put a satellite into orbit Tuesday, but failed due to a technical glitch on board, state media reported.

The rocket launch successfully passed the first and second stages but malfunctioned in the third stage. The Iranian-built satellite would have collected environmental data to improve the country's forecasting abilities.

"The satellite unfortunately failed to be placed in orbit in the final stage," said Minister of Information and Communications Technology Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi.
