Iran to launch monkey into space in July

Iran to launch monkey into space in July - Trend

Iran will launch its Kavoshgar-5 rocket with a 300-kg capsule with monkey inside to space this July, head of Iranian Space Agency, Hamid Fazeli said, IRNA reported.

He added that as of now, the monkey is undergoing special training for the upcoming launch.

Iran, which launched its first satellite into orbit in 2009 and sent a rat, turtles, and worms into space aboard a Kavoshgar-3 rocket in 2010, unveiled its space monkey mission back in February 2011 as a prelude to launching a man into space by 2020.

Speaking about the Fajr satellite launch, Fazeli said the necessary work is being conducted to launch the satellite to orbit in the near future.

On May 13, Iran's Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi said that Fajr satellite will be placed in elliptical orbit of 400 km in radius and will remain in space for a year and a half.

Is that a monkey called Obama

Hmmm..................nevermind

Possible. But real Obama is closer to a guerrilla than a monkey. Iranian experimental capsule is small and I do not think it would be able to lift the guerrilla up.

Maybe that will be for the future.

Yes, when he retires from AIPAC white house. It is a good job opportunity. By the time Iranians have moved to bigger capsules.

Of course he will need permission from his masters in AIPAC

Is the monkey Iranian? It'd be better to place an arab monkey in there and stream the burnout live
Two missions accomplished. 1. Display of scientific prowess. 2. You know what BAHAHAHHAHAHA

Did the rat and the turtle make it back alive?

Yes, they did. But the monkey we tried to send into the space previous year didn't make it back alive I assume.

Anymore information on this?

Anymore information on this?

On February 3, 2010, ISA launched a Kavoshgar-3 (Explorer-3) rocket with one rodent, two turtles, and several worms into sub-orbital space and returned them to Earth alive. The rocket was enabled to transfer electronic data and live footage back to Earth. The Iranian Aerospace Organization (IAO) showed live video transmission of mini-environmental lab to enable further studies on the biological capsule.[12] This was the first biological payload launched by Iran.[13] Iran is the sixth country to send animals in space.

There were some videos of it shown on Iranian state TV channels from the first minutes of the launch and the animals in the capsule, I can't find it now, but I doubt you could find any more information on that except the things published in newspapers.
