Persian Research

Iran's new space center built to send a research satellite into orbit is a "troubling development" because it employs the same technology used for producing long- range ballistic missiles, the U.S. State Department said.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad hours earlier inaugurated the country's first space center, which will be used to launch the Omid satellite, the first such probe designed and built by Iranian scientists, the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency reported.
I'm shocked! There is such a thing as an Iranian scientist!?
Eventually they will have the capability to launch a "research" satellite. The technology is out there; it's only a matter of buying and assembling it.
