Iran on track to sending humans to space: Defense minister

[SOHEIL]

Iran’s Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi says the successful mission of Pishgam (Pioneer) spacecraft, which successfully carried a monkey into space, is the first step for Iran towards sending humans into space.

“Sending a spacecraft and returning it is the first step towards sending humans to space in later stages,” Vahidi said on Monday.

On Monday, Iran launched Pishgam (Pioneer) spacecraft, which took a primate to the altitude of 120 kilometers, and returned it safely to Earth.

Iran sent its first bio-capsule of living creatures into space in February 2010, using the indigenous Kavoshgar 3 (Discoverer 3) carrier.

The country successfully launched its first indigenous data-processing satellite, Omid (Hope), into orbit in 2009.

As part of a plan to develop its space program, Iran successfully launched its second satellite, dubbed Rassad (Observation), into the earth's orbit in June 2011. Rassad's mission was to take images of the Earth and transmit them along with telemetry information to ground stations.

Iran also sent its indigenously-built Navid-e Elm-o Sanat (Harbinger of Science and Industry) satellite into orbit in February 2012. The records made by the telecom, measurement and scientific satellite could be used in a wide range of fields.

Iran is one of the 24 founding members of the UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, which was set up in 1959.

The Iranian defense minister said Iran would also inaugurate the country’s space observatory, named after Shia’s sixth Imam, Imam Sadeq (PBUH), in February.

We don't have a prime minister. If you meant President then there will be a new one this year.

 

[Machoman]

yes president yes....sorry!

I am confident that Iran can achieve this.

By sending a monkey into space and bringing it back alive, Iran has already made a remarkable achievement, that only a handful of other counties can claim.

While under sanctions as well.

 

[Arasteh]

Alot of trolls will get unhappy when we achieve this

A friendly advice is to not use the same username in every page you are a member of and of course not to announce it in places like this. It was very easy to put the pieces together.

Can one say that Iran theoretically can send humans to space already? Image that there was a human instead of the monkey.

Absolutely not

There's a ton of work to be done.

This was a good achievement, but way more needs to be done. The 2019 estimate is an absolute joke, but we will def'n get there in the 2020's. I don't understand why they don't just give a proper estimate. Even if it happens in 2030 it's a real achievement.

we can use simorgh slv for sub-orbital missions ... but for orbital missions we need a new SLV ... safir - 3 or 4

I think the Iranian scientists are smart and flexible, by analyzing and summarizing the past experience from USSR-USA-China, i do believe that they can find a fast reliable solution to accomplish the space manned mission within a decade.

Your nation have already showed your potential by capturing the drone with the most advanced US stealth technology, so i will not be surprised if you bring the magic again on the table.

look to send humans to the space , the important part is not the missile (as even this one was a rocket!!! not a missile ), it's the bio-capsule ! if it can control the conditions of the space , we will easily send humans to the space , and to build that kind of capsule , we will send bigger capsule every year to reach that mission ....

our military missiles always go out of the space and come back on earth , so we have no problem in this case ( controlling the missile ) .
i hope we build that kind of capsule faster ....
