Imagery collected by Planet Labs and Maxar show what appeared to be launch preparations June 6 at the Imam Khomeini Spaceport in north-central Iran.
The images also appear to show that a second attempt may be in the works: A mobile platform and fuel cells were spotted in imagery taken June 20, according to CNN, which first reported the attempt, citing multiple defense officials.
