Iranian
officials on Wednesday Feb. 3, announced the successful launch of a
domestically manufactured satellite-carrier vehicle with a mouse, two
turtles, and worms onboard.
The announcement came during an official ceremony marking
the first anniversary of the launch of Iran’s first domestically built
satellite via a homebuilt SLV.
The new satellite–carrier vehicle, called Kavoshgar-3
(“Explorer-3”), included a life-support system and cameras to monitor
the condition and movements of the animals and to send back images from
the rocket’s exterior.
According to an official announcement, the 3-meter long
research rocket traveled "beyond the Earth’s atmosphere" and parachuted
back to Earth, with the animals still alive and in perfect condition.
