Iran's domestically-made National Fajr (Dawn) Satellite, which was launched earlier on Monday, has transmitted data to its stations on earth, an Iranian official says.

The satellite made its first contact with its ground stations hours after it was put into the orbit, director of space projects at Iran Electronics Industries company, Mehdi Sarvi, told IRNA on Monday.

"We should wait for Fajr satellite to complete its next missions," he added.
