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".
