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!
