Kavoshgar 1 is Iran's first satellite-carrying space launch vehicle to transport satellites into space. It was launched on February 4, 2008. Kavoshgar 1 is an experimental rocket that was built to test the technologies used in the Safir satellite carrier. Its successful launch in 2008 showed that Iran has the ability to build satellite-carrying rockets. With the launch of the Omid satellite, Iran became the ninth country in the world capable of independently launching a satellite into space.
