The Islamic Republic of Iran successfully launches its second satellite christened Rassad (Observation) into the earth's orbit.

The satellite, which is the country's first such imaging device, was launched by the Safir-e-Rassad satellite carrier on Wednesday thanks to Iranian aerospace scientists and experts' endeavor, IRNA reported.

Despite its 15.3-kilogram weight, which puts it under the category of the micro-satellites, Rassad has all features of a big satellite.

It has undergone all the stages required for its designing, manufacturing, assembly, test and preparation for launch inside the country.

It will orbit the earth at an altitude of 260 kilometers 15 times every 24 hours.

Its mission is to take images of the earth's surface and relay them to the earth-based stations together with telemetric information.

The satellite is equipped with solar panels and uses solar energy to work.

Iran launched its first domestically-produced satellite Omid (Hope) in 2009, which made it the ninth country to develop satellite launch capability.

Tehran also plans to launch the country's first manned mission to space by 2019.

AND THE SATANIC JEW LOVING BRITISH RESPONSE:

British officials said, if confirmed, the Rasad-1 launch represented a violation of a UN security council resolution banning the development of ballistic missile technology ultimately capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. "The same type of technology is involved in launching ballistic missiles," one official said. Iranian reports said the Rasad satellite was built at the Malek Ashtar university, founded by Iran's Revolutionary Guards, who are also in charge of the military missile programme. Western officials say that since last October, there have been three previously unpublicised tests of medium-range missiles.

Two Utah witnesses in separate reports describe a triangle-shaped UFO moving silently overhead in the early morning hours of May 26, 2011, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The first witness was outside at 12:13 a.m. when a triangle object came into view.

"As I was watching a few satellites traveling in their normal pathways, a triangular object with a light in each corner caught my eye traveling at high speed (no sound) from west to east," the witness stated. "Its line of travel was in a straight line for about 4 seconds and it suddenly shifted to the south on a 20 degree angle very quickly, as though it was making a course adjustment or such. It made another shift to the south a moment later and continued very quickly to disappear from sight to the east over the Wasatch Mountains."

They didn't get as high as a WWII B-29 bomber, propeller driven plane.

. Before artificial satellites were used to find storms, the military units flew routine weather reconnaissance tracks to detect formation of tropical cyclones. Although satellite data has revolutionized weather forecasters' ability to detect early signs of tropical cyclones before they form, there are still many important tasks they are not suited for. Satellites cannot determine the interior barometric pressure of a hurricane, nor provide accurate wind speed information.

So how do I know if all weather pictures aren't from airplanes and not from weather satellites?

So, what's the difference between a picture taken from a high altitude balloon, and one from the ISS? The ones from the balloons look better, is all I can see.

A father-of-three from Huddersfield has captured images of earth from space using a weather balloon.
[. ]
Starting in October 2008, 38-year-old Robert Harrison filled 12 High Altitude Balloons with helium and launched them 35 kilometres into the atmosphere.
[. ]Having wrapped a digital camera and Global Positioning System device in loft insulation and linked it to computer software on the ground, he was able to track the balloons' progress.
[. ]He said: "The first time I saw the pictures, I couldn't believe it."
[. ]The rare images caught the attention of experts in the field and it wasn't long before Harrison received a telephone call from NASA.
[. ]In total, the project cost Harrison £4000 [I think this is a mistake for £400 - rerev] and he believes the achievement was worth every penny.

Sounds ominous. Wonder what NASA said to him? Maybe they were worried that he would get a picture of the space shuttle; from above?

I didn't even realize that people were doing this until a few days ago, when I read an article about someone sending a balloon up 20 miles. Just think: Those guys with the rocket, that I posted about earlier, only made it to five miles. A balloon beats a rocket!!! And for considerably less money, I would guess.

I think this is a NASA balloon test from the 1950's

Washington on Tuesday insisted it would continue spy flights over the Taiwan Strait after Chinese jets reportedly chased a US reconnaissance plane into Taiwanese airspace.

Why bother with spy planes if you have spy satellites?

A $150million U.S. Army airship crash landed in woods today after it could only reach half of its expected altitude on a test flight.

The unmanned solar-powered airship was only in the air for less than three hours after it launched in Akron, Ohio, on Wednesday morning.

It ascended as planned up to 32,000ft but the Lockheed Martin airship then encountered problems and was not able to get up to 60,000ft.
