Take monkeys and satellites to spy on space

Iran will bring a monkey to space after the Muslim holy month of Ramadan ends on August 18, the Tehran Times said.

Despite the difficult economic situation due to international sanctions, Iran's space exploration program has achieved significant achievements since 2009. So far, Iran has launched three nearest satellites and satellites. launched on February 3 this year. Some small animals such as turtles, worms are also brought to the universe by this country.

After Ramadan, a brown monkey will be placed in the biologic cap to help him survive when he is in space. This capunite will be launched by Kavoshgar (Discovery) -5 rocket, weighing nearly 300kg of Iran.

The Iranian Space Agency (ISA) announced in March that it would put a "big animal" on the universe, but then the project was postponed to carry out further tests. Last year, ISA's attempt to bring the universe to space failed.

Between March 23 and September 22, last year, the Kavoshgar-5 rocket carried a monkey that was launched. This launch until October was announced, when ISA admitted the project had failed. ISA believes that bringing a live monkey to the universe will help them understand more about the conditions in the universe, thus paving the way for people to journey to space in the next few years.

In addition, ISA also announced that they will launch a fourth satellite to space in the next few months. Fajr satellite (Dawn) will be used for exploration purposes.

According to Russian news channel RT, 'Western countries expressed concern that the technology to launch space equipment will be used to develop ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads'. However, ISA completely denied this allegation, claiming that Iran's space program did not carry military purposes.

To some extent, Iran's space program is creating a second space race. During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union were the two cosmic powers with no opponents. As Iran's relations with Western countries worsen, the country's scientific achievements will inevitably worry Western military leaders.

Iran is still far from being able to armed with space technology, but launching a military satellite at least shows that the country is capable of reconnaissance. Now, the West is using economic sanctions to curb Iran's scientific and technological development.
