Iran state media say Tehran has launched its first homemade satellite into orbit.

Media outlets said Tuesday, the satellite - named Hope - was put into orbit late Monday by an Iran-made Safir satellite carrier.

Officials launched the satellite as Iran marks the 30th anniversary of the Islamic revolution this month.

Iran has long held the goal of developing a space program, generating unease among world leaders already concerned about its nuclear and ballistic missile programs.

The West fears the technology used to launch a space rocket could be diverted into development of long-range ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads.

Western leaders have said Iran is trying to build a nuclear weapon. Iran says its nuclear capabilities are only for peaceful purposes.
