Iran 'launches rocket into space'
This is bizarre. It doesn't appear to be a satellite launch (even a microsatellite) and the "material" cannot be recovered. Is this a threat to contaminate LEO with debris if they are attacked? "The first space rocket has been successfully launched into space," Iranian TV said. It quoted the head of Iran's aerospace research centre, Mohsen Bahrami, as saying that "the rocket was carrying material intended for research created by the ministries of science and defence".
