According to CNN, Iran's second space monkey has returned home safe and sound. This represents good success for the nation's plans toward sending humans into space.
A tweet by Hassan Rouhani, Iranian President read, "In total, this is the 2nd monkey sent into space & returned in perfect health to #Iran. I congratulate the Leader, scientists & the nation".
The monkey, named Fargam, was launched 75 miles (120 kilometers) up into space and back in the 15-minute mission. Iran made a similar announcement in January, saying then that it had launched the first monkey into space, strapped snugly into a rocket, and returned it safely to Earth.
The United States is however skeptical of Iran's claims.
