Iran Successfully Launches Bio-Space Capsule with Salman Launcher

Iran has achieved a significant milestone in its space program as it successfully launched its latest bio-space capsule using the domestically-built Salman launcher. Developed by the Aerospace Research Institute of Iran, under the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology, the 500-kilogram capsule was sent into orbit at an altitude of 130 kilometers from the Earth's surface on Wednesday.

Iran (IMNA) - This remarkable achievement reflects Iran's commitment to advancing its space industry and expanding its expertise in bio-space technology. The launch serves as a crucial test for various space technologies, including launch systems, recovery mechanisms, speed control systems, impact shields, capsule aerodynamic design, and the control and monitoring of biological conditions.

Iran's endeavor to send humans into space aligns with the government's comprehensive plan to revitalize different sectors of the space industry. This successful mission marks a significant step forward in Iran's pursuit of space exploration and highlights its growing capabilities in the field.

The Salman launcher, developed by the Aerospace Industries Organization under the Iranian Defense Ministry, successfully launched a 500-kilogram bio-capsule in its inaugural test. According to Hossein Dalirian, spokesperson for the Aerospace Research Institute, the 13th government of the Islamic Republic has effectively revitalized the bio-space domain.

This achievement marks the first-ever testing of several bio-capsule systems, with the initial version of the launcher performing exceptionally well. The Salman launcher's ability to transport the bio-capsule in optimal condition showcases the remarkable success achieved through the reliance on domestic capabilities and the dedication of space industry experts within the Ministry of Defense.

In a significant development, Iran has successfully launched its inaugural bio-capsule into space. The bio-capsule, carried by the Kavoshgar (Explorer) carrier, marked a major milestone for the country's space ambitions.

Issa Zarepour, Iran's telecoms minister, revealed the news in an interview with Fars news agency. He mentioned that Tehran is now preparing for suborbital tests of the next generation of bio-capsules, which are expected to bring Iran closer to its space objectives.

The recently launched bio-capsule weighs approximately half a ton and has the potential to accommodate a human passenger. However, Zarepour clarified that the capsule's suborbital testing phase is currently underway.

Zarepour emphasized that while progress is being made, it will still take another 5 to 6 years before Iran can send humans into space. He also highlighted Iran's efforts to revive its activities in the field of launching biological capsules after a decade-long hiatus.

Iran's achievements in the space industry have garnered international recognition. The country is counted among the top 10 nations leading the space sector and is one of the seven leaders in the bio-space domain.

This remarkable feat demonstrates Iran's growing prowess in space exploration and positions the nation as a key player in the global space arena.
