Iran said the satellite would be purely scientific. But a month after its launch — and only weeks after the president said
Israel should be wiped off the map — the head of Tehran's space program now says the Sina-1 is capable of spying on the Jewish state.
The launch of the Russian-made satellite into orbit aboard a Russian rocket last month marked the beginning of Iran's space program. Officials say a second satellite — this one Iranian-built — will be launched in about two months, heightening Israeli concerns.
