Another technical triumph, unlike the tragic space terminal inauguration of 2003 when the terminal was unable to withstand the presidential inspection and caught fire.
Iran's first space terminal was inaugurated here on Monday in presence of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.Another version of the same story, this time using the word "launch":
The country's first space terminal comprises of Omid satellite, Iran's first homemade developed research satellite which has been designed and constructed by the Iranian experts.
The Omid satellite will be launched in the near future.
Iran's space terminal has been designed to send the Islamic Republic's first homemade research satellite into orbit in the near future.
During the ceremony, President Ahmadinejad inspected different sections of the terminal.
The ceremony was attended by several ministers and a number of senior officials.
"Iran launches first space research unit":
Iran on Monday launched its first space research unit in presence of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.So is the "space research unit" the same thing as the "space terminal"? In what sense did the "space research unit" get "launched"? And in whose home are they making the Omid satellite? Stay tuned . . .
The president said the launch of the first space research unit would be great stride to serve the mankind and would lead to Iran's exaltation and progress.
He inaugurated Iran's first space terminal this morning.
The country's first space terminal comprises of Omid satellite, Iran's first homemade developed research satellite which has been designed and constructed by the Iranian experts.
The Omid satellite will be launched in the near future.
Iran's space terminal has been designed to send the Islamic Republic's first homemade research satellite into orbit in the near future.
During the ceremony, President Ahmadinejad inspected different sections of the terminal.
The ceremony was attended by several ministers and a number of senior officials.
Update: The Telegraph has a more coherent version of this story. The "research unit" evidently was an actual rocket that got launched. Ahmadinejad read the count-down.
