Iran is planning to send another monkey into space, reports have said. Conservative daily Jomhuri Eslami quoted on Sunday the deputy head of
Iran’s space agency, Hamid Fazeli, as saying the planned launch, within
a month, is part of the country’s plans to send a human to space in
2018. Iran had earlier this year claimed it launched a monkey out of the earth’s atmosphere and successfully had it return. Fazeli was quoted in the article as saying animals with a similar
weight as monkeys are under consideration as future space test subjects. In September, Iran suggested it may start launching Persian cats into space.
