Iran to Send New Home-Made Satellites into Space
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran plans to send two new home-made satellites and a bio-capsule of living creatures into space on the back of a new home-made satellite carrier in the next few months, a senior Iranian space official said.
Head of Iran Space Agency (ISA) Hamid Fazeli said on Thursday that the Iranian bio-capsule will take a live creature into orbit by early September.
He also said that 'Fajr' (Dawn) satellite will blast into space by the end of summer and finally the student-made 'Navid Elm-o-Sanat' (Hope for Science and Technology) will be launched into orbit as early as February 2012.
Fazeli hailed the surge in Iran's space activities, adding that such breakthroughs have only been made possible by local expertise and endeavors.
