Иран запустил в космос ракета-носитель

В четверг, Иран успешно запустил в космос свой самый передовой ракету-носитель "Симорг" ("Феникс"), которая способна выводить спутник весом до 250 килограммов.

Запуск состоялся с Национального космодрома имени имама Хомейни в Семнане, примерно в 220 км к востоку от Тегерана.

Ракета-носитель "Симорг" больше своего предшественника, известного как "Сафир" ("Посол"), который Иран использовал для запуска спутников.

В 2013 году Иран запустил в космос обезьяну. Иран также планировал отправить людей на орбиту, но от идеи было решено отказаться из-за высоких издержек.

Иран предложил поделиться своими научными выводами и спутниковыми данными с другими странами. Последний успешный запуск ракеты-носителя Ирана был произведен в феврале 2015 года, тогда на орбиту был выведен телекоммуникационный спутник "Фаджр".

US and Ukraine sign deal giving US access to country’s valuable mineral wealth

The United States and Ukraine have signed a minerals deal after a two-month delay, in what President Donald Trump's administration called a new form of US commitment to Kyiv after the end of military aid. Ukraine said it secured key interests after protracted negotiations, including full sovereignty over its own rare earths, which are vital for new technologies and largely untapped. Trump had initially demanded rights to Ukraine's mineral wealth as compensation for US weapons sent under former president Joe Biden after Russia invaded just over three years ago.
