Iran trying to send a monkey into space
Iranian space officials announced they will make another attempt to launch a live monkey into space within the next month, according to news reports.The Mehr news agency reports that the monkeys will be sent up in a capsule named Pishgam, or (Persian for pioneer) which will be aboard a Kavoshgar rocket.Being able to put a live monkey into space aboard this capsule would allow Iran to move one step closer to putting a human into space. With a successfully extraterrestrial monkey, the Iranian Space Agency projects it would be able to achieve human space flight within five to eight years.
