Iran planning new monkey space launch

Hamid Fazeli, deputy head of Iran's space organisation, said: "The second live animal will be ready within a month to be sent into space".
Iran in January claimed to have successfully launched a live monkey into space and to have brought it safely back to earth.
The experiment's success was disputed, however, when a different monkey was presented to the media after the landing. An earlier attempt had failed in September 2011.
