Qaem-100 (also transcribed Ghaem-100) is a new Iranian space launcher operated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Aerospace force. It based on the Rafe' solid rocket motor.
Qaem-100 is a three stage launch vehicle using solid-fueled stages. Qaem-100 is designed to put an 80 kg payload into a low earth orbit.
The first suborbital flight using only the stage 1 motor took place in November 2022 from the Shahroud missile range, using a mobile transporter erector launcher (TEL).
The Qaem-100 is planned to be expanded into a family of other Qaem rockets including the Qaem-105, Qaem-110 and Qaem-200 versions.
