Il Governo iraniano abbandona il progetto spaziale con gli astronauti.
L'annincio è stato improvviso e motivato dagli eccessivi costi del programma umano che avrebbe comportato un impegno finanziario da 15 a 20 billioni di dollari per più di 15 anni.
La marcia indietro non significa comunque una rinuncia totale alle ambizioni spaziali.
TEHRAN,
Iran (AP) — Iran’s semi-official ILNA news agency is reporting that the
country’s space organization is cancelling a project to explore sending
humans into space.
Iran sent a monkey into space in January 2013 and it had announced a goal of sending a person by 2018. But Wednesday’s report quotes Mohammad Homayoun Sadr, deputy head of the space organization, as saying the cost was judged to be prohibitive — an estimated $15 to $20 billion over 15 years.
Iran has long held the goal of developing a space program, generating unease among the United States and other countries concerned about Tehran’s ballistic missile programs.
