Iran has launched a rocket capable of reaching the edge of space but one UK missile expert, however, says the test has "very little military significance".
The former head of Israel's anti-missile program warns that if Iran is allowed to develop space-launch capability, it could put "the entire world at risk of a future nuclear attack."
Iran launched its first satellite into space from Plesetsk in northern Russia, joining a select club of countries. A joint project between Iran and Russia, the Sina-1 satellite will be used to take pictures of Iran and to monitor natural disasters.
