TEHRAN(ISNA)-Iran said it can send man into space in less than 10 years, taking another successful step in the aerospace technology.

The Deputy of Iran's Aerospace Research Center Hamed Hashemi Mohanneh highlighted Iranian scholars' progress in building and launching explorer rockets with bio-life capsule, getting access to remote-sensing technology and devices sending alarms in cases of fire in jungles as well as predicting catastrophes including flood and climate changes.

The research center is working on designing, building and testing explorer rockets to send bio-capsule into space.

"Explorer Rocket is to hold to an engine rocket. The engine would take the rocket up to 100 km. They will be separated then. The capsule returns to the earth, so that we can evaluate data collected from high altitudes," he said.

In February Iran successfully test fired the Kavoshgar-3 rocket which carried a rat, turtle and worms. The country launched a domestically made satellite into orbit for the first time in 2009.

Iran has already said it plans to send a man into space by 2024.

In mid-March, Iran announced the successful launch of Kavoshgar-4, carrying a test capsule designed to house the monkey.

Hard to tell who the unlucky male or female astronaut will be (10 years
in future). But the Islamic approved Moon rover is decided upon and
already in final stages of testing

He/She must have pissed off some IRI officals real bad to earn such punishment.

'Hambastegi' is the main key to victory

IRI's Astronaut Islamic Problems

by IranFirst on Sat Oct 15, 2011 08:49 AM PDT

Apparently flying humans to outer space in a regular rocket is the easy
part and IRI can do that withing 2 years or so. The major problems that
the Islamic scientists and Mullahs are trying to solve (and takes at
least 10 years to resolve) are: How to make the rockek large enough so
the astrounat can pray 5 time a day, while facing Makeh in
weightlessness, and how to go to bathroom facing away from Makeh. How to
do wozo with water and outside the space suit (to be able to wash
elbows and the space between the toes for example), Going to bathroom
and washing with Aftabeh in weightlessness has been a specially
challenging problem that IRI's Houzies are working on.
