Iran started its space program, which includes satellite launches and scientific research, in 2004. The Islamic Republic is one of the 24 founding members of the UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, which was established in 1959.
Iran has successfully launched the newest biological capsule outside the Earth's atmosphere, according to Iranian media.
The new 500-kilogram bio-capsule was reportedly launched to an altitude of 130 kilometers using a Salman rocket. The capsule was developed as part of the implementation of Iran's roadmap for sending humans into space.
Iran's Minister of Information and Communications Technology Issa Zarepour said on October 4 that the country is working on sending a human into space within the next five years. Zarepour then announced several space-related projects that Iran plans to unveil by the end of March 2024.
