Iran has successfully launched a rocket carrying a monkey into space, according to Iranian state media, in what Iranian officials call a "prelude to sending humans into space". The monkey was sent in an "indigenous bio-capsule" called Pishgam, which is Farsi for "Pioneer". Pishgam reached an altitude of more than 120 km and made a successful return, and the monkey survived the flight. The head of Iran's space agency, Hamid Fazeli, said that Iran decided to send a monkey "because of biological similarities between humans and monkeys".
据伊朗国家媒体报道，伊朗用一枚运载火箭成功将一只猴子送上太空。伊朗官员称此次活猴上太空将为"送人类上太空拉开序幕"。这只猴子乘坐伊朗国产Pishgam(波斯语的"开拓者")号太空舱进入太空，太空舱升至距地面120公里的高度并顺利返回，猴子成功存活。伊朗宇航局局长哈米德·法则利表示，决定送猴子上太空是由于"人类与猴子在生物学上相似"。
