The James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies Iran Missile and SLV Launch Database records flight tests and operational uses of all missiles and SLVs launched by Iran that are capable of delivering a payload of at least 500 kilograms (1102.31 pounds) a distance of at least 300 kilometers (186.4 miles). The database captures advancements in Iran’s rocket programs by documenting all such launches by Iran since the end of the Iran-Iraq War in 1988. The database will be routinely updated as events warrant.
The below map allows users to view Iran’s missile and SLV launches over a period of time, and to select by rocket type, family, and launch results. Users can also view additional infographics and read expert analysis of the database. The full CNS Iran dataset is available in Excel format (download), along with information concerning exactly how the launches are recorded and the information is categorized.
