It looks like the United States is not the only nation sending molecular markers into orbit. From the New York Times:
The spacecraft is small by world standards -- a microsatellite of a few hundred pounds. Launched in October by the Russians for an oil-rich client, it orbits the earth once every 99 minutes and reportedly has a camera for peering down on large swaths of land.
The punch line comes in the next paragraph: the satellite is owned by Iran. No report as to whether it's a CA or AT repeat.

What evidence is there that this has anything what so ever to do with a supposed nuclear weapons program, other than in the feverish minds of the bushies?
Microsatellites are found in nuclear DNA...
Interesting posts Iran is getting more into science and research.
