Iran sent animals into space

Iran's Telecommunication Minister Isa Jarepour said- This capsule was launched from Rocket Salman. The weight of this capsule is 500 kilograms (1,000 lb). In the coming time, this will send people into space. However, he did not specify which animals were in the capsule.

Sent a monkey into space 11 years ago
According to news agency AP, Iran sent a monkey into space in 2013. It successfully returned back to Earth. Earlier in 2010, Iran had also sent a turtle, rat and insects into space, but this mission was unsuccessful. In 2009, for the first time, Iran sent a satellite made in its country into space. At the same time, in September 2023, Iran launched a satellite to collect space data.

Preparation to send humans to space by 2029
Iran's Telecommunication Minister Isa Zarepour told local media - Iran plans to send humans to space. Our effort is to send people to space by 2029.

He said- Iranian military has designed Rocket Salman. At the same time, the capsule has been made by Iran Civil Space Agency. He did not give information from which location the capsule was launched. Iran usually conducts launches from the Imam Khomeini Space Center in northern Semnan province.

Chimpanzee was sent to space for the first time in 1961
Ham was the first animal to travel into space. It was only after this chimpanzee that man's journey into space began. Ham the chimpanzee was sent into space on January 31, 1961. The reason for sending him into space was to get information about what kind of effects there would be on humans if they went into space.

Chimpanzee training was done at American Air Force base
Haim is believed to have been born in 1957. He was captured from the forests of Cameroon. After this he was taken to the American city of Florida. In Florida, Ham was kept at the Miami Rare Bird Firm. In 1959, he was sent to a US Air Force base for space training.

Earlier the name of that chimpanzee was #65 (hashtag 65) and Chang. After returning to Earth from space, he was named Ham. After 18 months of training, Ham was ready to go to space. He was brought to the launch pad. Ham was to be sent under Project Mercury (MR-2). The launch pad was on the island of Florida. Ham, about three and a half years old, was packed in a container and sent into space on January 31, 1861.

Ham had escaped from the jaws of death
Ham had reached space after 16:30 minutes of flight. He flew at a speed of 5800 km per hour to a height of 157 km. Hamm's capsule was damaged due to pressure during flight, but Hamm's space suit saved him and he was unharmed.

While returning to Earth, Ham's capsule fell into the Atlantic Ocean at a distance of 130 km. A ship reached the spot within a few hours to rescue him. The surprising thing is that even after so long he was alive. Then it was taken out from the capsule. At that time there was a smile on her face, which the photographer captured in his camera. Some people call it a smile of happiness while others call it a smile of worry and fear.

After returning from space, Ham was placed in the National Zoo in Washington in 1963. After this he was sent to the zoo in North Carolina. Haim died on January 19, 1983. Sending it into space was such a successful experiment that it opened the way for humans to go into space.
