second time, part of an ambitious program aimed at manned space flight
Iran’s state TV said that the launch of the rocket dubbed Pajohesh, or
Research in Farsi, was Iran’s first use of liquid fuel and reached a
height of 120 km. It said the monkey, named Fargam or Auspicious, was
returned to earth safely
The TV showed the rocket blasting off and then showed the monkey,
strapped snugly into a seat, staring at people clapping to celebrate its
safe return. The report said Fargam’s capsule parachuted safely to
earth after detaching from the rocket in a mission that lasted 15
minutes
