NASA, WATCH OUT, they are coming!

NASA, WATCH OUT, they are coming! This is the cover of main Iranian National Newspapers which published today. After few years hard working, Iranian Aeronautics and Space Administration (IASA) managed to launch the first rocket into space to mark the opening of its first space center under the name of Kavoshgar on Monday, 4th Feb 2008 at 12:25pm. Few could not believe, but then many others were happy and proud of this first success program. Apparently IASA plans to launch the Omid Satellite, a Remote-Sensing Satellites in June 2008. http://www.space-travel.com/reports/Iran_opens_its_first_space_centre_riling_the_US_999.html http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=41713&sectionid=351020101 http://www.redorbit.com/news/business/1240731/iran_to_launch_omid_satellite_in_june_08_to_build/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA
