Iran sends second monkey into space
15:46 - 14.12.13
Iran's president has said that the Islamic Republic has successfully
sent a monkey into space for the second time, part of a program aimed
at manned space flight, the Inquierer News reported.
Hassan Rouhani's website said Saturday that the rocket used liquid
fuel for the first time. It did not say when the launch took place or
give other details.
Iran frequently claims technological breakthroughs that are impossible
to independently verify. The Islamic Republic has said it seeks to
send an astronaut into space as part of an ambitious aerospace
program.
Iran said that it sent its first monkey into space in January. One of
two official packages of photos of the simian space traveler depicted
the wrong monkey, however, raising doubts among international
observers as to whether the launch was as successful as reported.
