They already said this the Kovoshghar 5. I don't know why they renamed it...

You can see it here:

Head of Iran’s Space Agency (ISA) Hamid Fazeli says the country plans to send a living organism into space on board the Pishgam (Pioneer) satellite carrier in the near future.

“Iran’s Space Agency (ISA) is fully prepared to send the Pishgam satellite carrier bearing a bio-capsule with a living creature,” Fazeli said Sunday.

He expressed hope that the Pishgam satellite carrier, previously known as the Kavoshgar 5 (Explorer 5), would “soon” be successfully launched into space carrying a monkey.

Iran sent its first bio-capsule of living creatures into space in February 2010, using the indigenous Kavoshgar 3 carrier.

The country successfully launched its first indigenous data-processing satellite, Omid (Hope), into orbit in 2009.

As part of a plan to develop its space program, Iran also successfully launched its second satellite, dubbed Rassad (Observation), into the earth's orbit in June 2011. Rassad's mission was to take images of the Earth and transmit them along with telemetry information to ground stations.

Iran also launched its domestically-built Navid-e Elm-o Sanat (Harbinger of Science and Industry) satellite into orbit in February 2012. The records made by the telecom, measurement and scientific satellite could be used in a wide range of fields.

Iran is one of the 24 founding members of the United Nations' Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, which was set up in 1959.

In order for Iran to send a man to space, will they have to make a new carrier bigger than simorgh?

Yeah, very much heavier. These are the first rockets used by Russia, United States and China to send a man into space, you can compare them yourself:

1- Russian Vostok-K used to send first human into space (Yuri Gagarin). It was capable of putting almost 5 tonnes in LEO: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vostok-K

2- American Atlas LV-3B used to send first American to space. It was capable of putting 1.5 tonnes into LEO: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_LV-3B

3- Chinese Long March 2 used to send the first Chinese into space. It was capable of putting 8 tonnes into LEO: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_March_2

By comparison Simorgh is only capable of putting 100 kilogram and Safir just 50 kilogram.

Gents,

Just so you are all aware, there are rumors that the Kavoshgar-5 may not be so similar to it's predecessors but may be based on the Shahab-3/Ghadr missile. This would not be unprecedented since the first member of the Kavoshgar family was a modified Shahab-3.

Just food for thought.

Perhaps a demonstration of our improved ballistic systems; a rocket capable of carrying a payload anywhere in the world. I'll be looking out for this.

Iran is planning to send a monkey into space for a ten-day period starting January 31 which marks the 34th anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, head of the Iranian space agency Hamid Fazeli said in Teheran on Tuesday.
He said two monkeys were trained for the flight. At present, they are in quarantine. A launch of a monkey will be the first stage of a manned flight which will be carried out by Iran in 5-8 years, Fazeli said.

Since 2009, Iran has launched three satellites and a capsule carrying a rat, turtles and worms. An attempt to launch a monkey into space ended in failure in 2011.

Iran sends living creature into space.

--- The Islamic Republic of Iran has sent a living organism, a monkey, into space aboard an indigenously-designed and -developed bio-capsule as a prelude to sending humans into space.

Did the monkey live? I saw one press report that only said the package "returned intact."

Satori · « **Reply #107 on:** January 28, 2013, 12:16:09 PM »

Is there any information about the launch time, the launcher and the launch place?

Andimeshk City · « **Reply #108 on:** January 28, 2013, 12:18:16 PM »

Yes, the capsule successfully returned to Earth, and the monkey is alive.

Sobaka · « **Reply #109 on:** January 28, 2013, 12:34:26 PM »

great news. what will the monkey do to celebrate? Extra bananas I hope.....

This achievement puts Iran another step closer to the goal of placing a man into space. Ourrah, as we say in Russian.

Iran launches monkey into space

Kavoshgar rocket reached height of more than 75 miles and 'returned its shipment intact', news agency reports

Iran has launched a live monkey into space, the Fars news agency reported, lauding it as an advance in a missile and space programme that has alarmed the west and Israel.

There was no independent confirmation and there have been no announcements by western powers of any Iranian launch late last week.

Fars said the monkey was launched into space on a Kavoshgar rocket. The rocket reached a height of more than 75 miles (120km) and "returned its shipment intact", Fars reported.

Iran announced plans in 2011 to send a monkey into space, but that attempt was reported to have failed.

Western countries are concerned the long-range ballistic technology used to propel Iranian satellites into orbit could be used to launch atomic warheads. Tehran denies such suggestions and says its nuclear work is purely peaceful.

Ahmad Vahidi says other good space news are on the way.
The name of rocket used for sending monkey into space is "Pishgam" (means "Pioneer")

ایران در راه ارسال انسان به فضا است/ خبرهای خوش فضایی در راه است

به گزارش خبرگزاری فارس، سردار احمد وحیدی وزیر دفاع و پشتیبانی نیروهای مسلح با اشاره به پرتاب و بازیایی موفقیت آمیز کاوشگر «پیشگام» اظهار داشت: ارسال کاوشگر و بازیابی آن، گام نخست برای ارسال انسان به فضا در مراحل بعدی است.

وزیر دفاع و پشتیبانی نیروهای مسلح تاکید کرد که در این راستا خبرهای خبرهای خوش دیگری در راه است.

وی ادامه داد: کاوشگر پیشگام در ارتفاع 360 هزار پایی ماموریت خود را بخوبی انجام داد.

وحیدی با اشاره به بازیابی موفقیت آمیز این کاوشگر اظهار داشت: این محموله با سرعت پیش بینی شده به همراه موجود زنده(میمون) سالم به زمین بازگشت.

وحیدی همچنین اعلام کرد پایگاه رصد فضایی بزودی افتتاح خواهد شد.

به گزارش فارس، دانشمندان و متخصصان فضایی جمهوری اسلامی ایران موفق شدند با برداشتن گام بلند دیگری در عرصه فناوری پیشرفته فضایی، ارسال حیات به فضا و تحقیقات زیستی که در انحصار چند کشور معدود است را برای کشورمان به ارمغان آوردند.

پروژه ارسال حیات به فضا که با مدیریت یکپارچه سیستمی و تلاش دانشمندان سازمان فضایی ایران به مورد اجرا گذاشته شده، توسط سازمان صنایع هوافضای وزارت دفاع تا ارتفاع مورد نظر پرتاب و پس از طی مراحل پیش‌بینی شده و رسیدن به سرعت، شتاب و ارتفاع مورد نظر، مجدداً به زمین بازگشته و موجود زنده با موفقیت بازیابی گردید.

کاوشگر پیشگام از چهار بخش شامل:

1- مجموعه موتور، متشکل از اجزای قفسه دم، بالک‌های پایدارساز، بلوک تنظیم ارتفاع، موتور و نازل؛

2- سکوی پرتاب برای پرتاب مجموعه؛

3- ایستگاه های زمینی برای برقراری ارتباط با کاوشگر و دریافت اطلاعات به صورت زمان واقعی؛

4- محموله‌ که از اجزای کپسول زیستی سامانة خدمات (الکترونیک، مخابرات و پردازش)، جدایش سازه و جدایش بازیاب موجود زنده تشکیل شده است.

دسترسی به ارتفاع بیش از 120 کیلومتری، ارسال موجود زنده (میمون) با فیزیولوژی شبیه انسان، بومی‌سازی فناوری طراحی، ساخت و پرتاب کپسول زیستی، بازیابی سالم محموله، تله‌متری ثبت داده‌های محیطی، زیستی و تصاویر در تمامی مراحل پرتاب و تعیین بارهای اکوستیکی محفظه از اهدافی بود که با پرتاب کاوشگر پیشگام و بازیابی آن حاصل گردید.

گفتنی است کاوشگرها بطور عمومی برای بررسی جو، داده‌برداری از لایه‌های میانی اتمسفر و بررسی لایه‌های مختلف آن؛ مطالعات مربوط به قطب مانند بررسی شفق قطب؛ مطالعات پرتوهای کیهانی مانند اشعه ایکس، ماوراء بنفش و مادون قرمز؛ زیست شناسی و پرتاب موجودات زنده کوچک و رشد سلول‌های بنیادی در فضا؛ ستاره‌شناسی، رصد خورشید، بررسی کسوف؛ مطالعه جاذبه ناچیز؛ بازیابی محموله؛ توسعه فناوری‌های فضایی مانند ورود به جو و جدایش؛ آزمایش تراشه‌ها و مدارات الکترونیکی فضایی؛ افزایش قابلیت اطمینان پرتاب‌های فضایی با انجام تست‌های مکرر بکار می‌روند.

I congratulate to all Iranians, specially the engineers who made this possible.

We are witnessing good news from Iran almost everyday in diffrent fields. This is one of greater achievements. I am sure in future we will witnessing even greater achievements from a nation that stand on its own feet and start to believe in itself.

Where are those naggers who ridiculed Iran's space program? They were in awe of West to such a degree that they stop believing in themselves.

Let's pioneers in Iran's space technology show us the way, so we all can believe that "Yes We Can, even if we have to do it ALONE".
