Description:
On June 15, 2011, Iran launched satellite Rasad-1 into orbit around Earth. <br/><br/>Rasad-1 (the name means Observation 1 in Farsi) is an imaging satellite that was sent into a 162-mile orbit by an Iranian Safir rocket. This was Iran's third satellite and the second to be launched successfully by an indigenous rocket. Rasad-1 made about 15 orbits per day, and sent back pictures to Earth. This feat raised concerns among those who feared Iran's intentions concerning its nuclear development program.

They were supposed to return nearly a month earlier, but were delayed by the crash of an uncrewed Russian cargo ship. During their time aboard the station, Virts, Shkaplerov, and Cristoforetti conducted hundreds of science experiments, oversaw the arrival and departure of cargo vehicles, and assisted with the relocation of the station's supply module, called Leonardo. Virts also conducted three spacewalks to route the cables for a new adapter that would allow future Boeing and SpaceX commercial crew spacecraft to dock with the laboratory.")
_moon-gravity-lab-in-the-sky-fly-with-lunar-scientists-in-this-exclusive-mini-doc.webp "European scientists are turning an aircraft into a laboratory that simulates lunar gravity to prepare astronauts and technology for future moon landings as part of the NASA-led Artemis missions. <br/><br/>The moon is a strange little world. Only about 1.2% the mass of Earth, our planet's companion exerts a much weaker gravitational force on objects on its surface than the parent planet. As a result, an astronaut on the moon's surface feels as if he or she only weighs one sixth of their earthly weight. The same goes for all equipment the astronauts would use. It may sound like no big deal but this feeble gravitational pull creates all sorts of unforeseen problems that are difficult to prepare for in research labs on Earth. There is, however, one way to experience lunar gravity while still in the confines of Earth and explore these challenges before going to the moon: in a parabolic flight.<br/><br/>Credit: Space.com | footage courtesy: European Space Agency/Novespace/NASA<br/>A Future Studios Production")
