Qaem-105 details revealed

Will have two versions - a 3 stage version with 120kg payload to LEO (Qaem-105A), and a 4 stage version with 200kg payload to LEO (Qaem-105B).

The 3 stage version will be: Raafe, a new solid fuel engine called Naafe (upgraded/upscaled Salman) and Salman as its third stage. Interestingly, Qaem-105 will not use another Raafe engine as a second stage as many had speculated.

The Qaem-105 is expected to be formally unveiled next Iranian year (1403 / March 2024 - March 2025).

Next launch of Qaem-100 scheduled for January 2024

In other news, the next orbital launch attempt of the Qaem-100 is scheduled for January 2024 (with a 50kg satellite).
 
Upcoming IRGC-ASF space launches (source: Meshkat):

December 2023 (1402): Qaem-100 orbital launch of Soraya satellite (50kg)

March 2024 (1402): Qased orbital launch of Noor-4 satellite (10-20kg)

March-Dec 2024 (1403): Qaem-105 reveal and sub-orbital test launch

....

Hopefully we get some signs of life from the civilian/ISA space program too.
 
Rumours of another failed Qaem-100 launch (unconfirmed)

Launch was due + no news = possibility of failed launch attempt

Don't forget they promised 3 more launches by the end of this (Iranian) year ... they still have time but I hope these liars are finally held to account one day

Given poor history of promises I’ll give that a big shrug.

Note, the landed bio- pod of the previous launch has never been shown.

IRGC, civilian? Well, what about ISA? I’m confused.
