Iran plans to be the first Islamic country in space:

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iranian Defense Minister Ali Shamkhani said Monday Iran would launch a locally made satellite within 18 months, the official IRNA news agency reported.

“Iran will be the first Islamic country to go into space with a locally produced satellite and launch pad system,” IRNA quoted Shamkhani as saying.

No details on the type of satellite Iran planned to launch were given.

Russian news agency Interfax said in August that Moscow planned to discuss with Tehran the possibility of resuming a project in which Russia would build Iran a telecommunications satellite.
