Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Monday that the country plans to launch bigger satellites to the altitude of 35,000 km above the earth's surface in future, the semi-official ISNA news agency reported.

"We will take further steps in 2011 and we will place larger satellites to the altitude of 35,000 km above the earth's surface in future to meet our needs entirely," Ahmadinejad said in the north western Iranian city of Zanjan as inaugurating two dams.

Iran, on Wednesday, announced that it "successfully" put the Rasad (surveillance) satellite in the orbit to render images to the stations in the country.

Head of Iranian Space Agency (ISA) said Thursday that Iran will launch three more satellites in space by the end of Iranian calendar year, ending on March 20.

"Chains of Iran's mighty presence in the space are being completed swiftly," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying on Monday.
