Navid (Persian: نوید‎) or Navid-e Elm-o San'at (Persian: نوید علم و صنعت‎, "Gospel of Science and Technology") was an experimental Iranian Earth observation satellite.² The satellite carried a camera for taking higher-precision imagery of Earth and it was also be used to collect weather data and monitor natural disasters.³ It was developed by students at the Iran University of Science and Technology.⁴ The third satellite to be launched indigenously by Iran, it was placed into orbit by a new configuration of the Safir carrier rocket, featuring a larger second stage with 20% more thrust.⁵ The launch occurred at approximately 00:04 UTC on 3 February 2012.⁶ The satellite remained in orbit for two months, before reentering the atmosphere on 1 April 2012.⁷
