Iran will send a new indigenous satellite into orbit in the coming days after a failed attempt earlier this month, Defense Minister General Amir Hatami said on Wednesday. 
"Of the two satellites that the president recently announced will be sent into space, one was launched and another one will be launched in the near future," he told reporters in Tehran.
The minister noted that the Safir (Messenger) carrier rocket will place a satellite into an orbit of 260 km. He did mention the name of the new satellite.
