🇷🇺 Russia launched a Soyuz rocket early on Tuesday carrying 2 satellites designed to monitor the space weather around Earth and 53 small satellites, including two Iranian ones, Russia's Roscosmos space agency said.

The Soyuz-2.1 launch spacecraft, which lifted off from Russia's Vostochny Cosmodrome, carried two Ionosfera-M satellites, which will become part of the space system for monitoring the Earth's ionosphere, the agency said.

The ionosphere, where Earth's atmosphere meets space, stretches roughly 50 to 400 miles (80 to 644 km) above Earth's surface, according to information provided on NASA's website.

Each Ionosfera-M satellite weighs 430 kg (948 lb) and its working orbit is at an altitude of 820 km (510 miles), according to Interfax news agency.

The system will include in total four of the Ionosfera-M satellites. The next two devices are planned to be launched in 2025, Roscosmos reported.

Among the 53 small satellites are two Iranian satellites, the Kowsar, a high-resolution imaging satellite, and Hodhod, a small communications satellite, as well as the first Russian-Chinese student satellite Druzhba ATURK.

Russia in February launched into space an Iranian research satellite that will scan Iran's topography from orbit, Iran's state media reported at the time.

👍🏻 Like for Russia-Putin, share for USA/Nazi/NATO

Afonjudas:
Russia leads the world in rocket science - the most difficult science in modern history. Russia even sends US satellites to space because US still hasn't mastered it till now and Elon Musk's SpaceX is trying to correct that.


Now imagine their missile technology.
No think am
Elon Musk himself is a product of Russia's space program.

Some of his early mentors were Russian scientists when he traveled to Russia.

He stole Russian space tech secrets and incorporated it into his Space X.

It's the cold war all over again.

Space race and weapon race bundled into one.

Dangerous times ahead.

That's correct.
He incorporated their scientists and ideas

The US has always relied on foreign scientists to be technologically competitive. The likes of Einstein, von Braun, Bethe, Fuchs, Teller, von Neumamn, Szilard all defected to the US from Germany/Europe in WWII.

Nice one!

Those satellites should be able to synchronize and get specific coordinates of Israel on the map, and guide ballistic missiles across territory.

Bad news for Israel and their genocidal supporters on nairaland. The world is too big to contain everybody. Nobody can isolate anybody in the international system

So also, have the Russians

While the US got the cream of the crop of Nazi rocket scientists after WW2, that did not mean that the Russians never got their hands on any. They did. They also got a lot of the rockets and prototypes the Nazi scientists left behind...especially since the main rocket base fell under Soviet hands.

Also, Oppenheimer was born in the USA, and many of those scientists like Teller and Einsten ended up in the USA because they were Jews fleeing anti-semitic discrimination in much of MItteleuropa in the 1930's.

Iran and NK have been placed under sanctions for years yet they are advancing in technologies while Nigeria have been advancing in looting, stealing and religion matter.
Zero tourism
Zero roads
Zero transportation and infrastructures

Meanwhile, in Africa right there by the equator in the Guinea we are breaking a different kind of record. Lubricating our fingers like we are counting money while we are supposed to be productive in bettering our nation.


For me and my family we are going to work hard so we can count money and better our continent.

That's because people like you don't want to vote a leader that would lead us through the obligatory hardship route to an industrialized economy.

Most industrial economies went through hardship before they became able to send men into space. Either via the free market or via strong and strict planned economies.

If a leader were to come and try to replicate that in Nigeria or any other African country, you guys will shout poverty and harshness. So, we do the usual sharing the money, and borrowing when it is finished

Better be ready to vote for a leader who is serious about development, and be ready to make the sacrifices, or else stop crying and accept what you have.

Listen to yourself. Who made up the us? Is it, not the people who migrated from Europe in the 15th-16th century after the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus?

grin With help of Iran

Al-Qassam Brigades: Yesterday, Monday, Qassam fighters were able to eliminate a Zionist infantry force of 5 soldiers from zero distance with machine guns and hand grenades in Al-Houja Street in the middle of Jabalia camp in the northern Gaza Strip.

Gaza is still holding out!
