Subtopics

Ghauri Pakistani intermediate range ballistic missile. Derivative of North Korean Nodong. First fired April, 1998. Payload is about 700 kg. Managed by A Q Khan Research Laboratories.

Paektusan 1 North Korean orbital launch vehicle. The third stage for the satellite launch version was probably a small solid rocket engine. It failed to reach orbit in the 1998 launch attempt, and later such tests are believed to have used a different design.

Shahab 3 Iranian intermediate range ballistic missile, evolved incrementally with Russian assistance from initial copy of North Korean Nodong 1 into a longer-range missile and the first stage of an orbital launch vehicle. Initial version began flight tests in 1998.

Safir Iran's first orbital launch vehicle, based on the Shahab 3 intermediate range ballistic missile with upper stages.

Safir-1A Iranian orbital launch vehicle variant.

Safir-1B Iranian orbital launch vehicle variant.

Ghadr 1 Iranian intermediate range ballistic missile, adding a solid propellant second stage to a Shahab 3 liquid propellant first stage. Improved version with range of up to 2,000 km tested in 2015.

Emad Iranian single-stage IRBM announced 2015; improved version of Shahab 3 with precision guidance and a claimed CEP of 500 m at a range of 1700 km.
