Iran has launched a 500 kg biocapsule beyond the Earth’s atmosphere, reaching an altitude of 130 km, APA reports citing BNN Breaking.
This biocapsule is a part of Iran’s robust space programme that has been contested by the West. The programme is preparing for potential human missions. The Salman rocket, an all-indigenous creation, carried the 500kg capsule, marking it as the heaviest biological capsule ever successfully carried in the history of the Iranian space programme.
