Early Tuesday, Russia launched a Soyuz rocket from the Vostochny Cosmodrome, carrying several satellites, including two Iranian ones.

According to the Roscosmos space agency, the mission’s primary payload consisted of two Ionosfera-M satellites to enhance the space system that monitors Earth’s ionosphere.

NASA reports that the ionosphere, a crucial layer where Earth’s atmosphere intersects with space, extends from approximately 50 to 400 miles above the surface. Each Ionosfera-M satellite operates at an altitude of 820 km and weighs 430 kg.

🚀 Exciting news from #Vostochny Cosmodrome!

This launch also included 53 smaller satellites. Among these were the Iranian Kowsar, designed for high-resolution imaging, and the Hodhod, a communications satellite. Additionally, the launch featured the Druzhba ATURK, the inaugural Russian-Chinese student satellite.

Russia's latest Soyuz rocket launch successfully deployed two Iranian satellites along with 53 others, aimed at monitoring Earth's space weather. This mission highlights ongoing international collaborations in space exploration. Read more about it here: https://t.co/b3HnsM6LTl
