Animals in Space 1940’s : The first animals in space were fruit flies who were sent into space along with corn seeds aboard a U.S. launched rocket in mid July, 1946. The purpose of the experiment was to explore the effects of radiation exposure at high altitudes.

Albert II, in a U.S. launched V2, became the first monkey in space on June 14, 1949 (after the failure of the original Albert's mission). Albert II died on impact after a parachute failure. Numerous monkeys of several species were flown by the U.S. in the 1950s and 60s. Monkeys were implanted with sensors to measure vital signs and many were under anesthesia during launch.

1950’s On August 31, 1950, the U.S. launched a mouse into space (137 km) aboard a V2. The U.S. launched several other mice in this decade but the first mouse was the only one which survived. On January 29, 1951, the Soviet Union launched the dogs Zhegan and Dezik into space (but not into orbit). The U.S. launched mice aboard spacecraft later that year; however, they failed to reach the altitude for true spaceflight.

Laika was launched aboard Sputnik 2 on November 3, 1957 by the Soviet Union. She was the first living creature in space. There was no way to return Laika to earth so she died in space about a week after the launch. The name "Laika" means "barker" in Russian.

On December 13, 1958, a rocket was launched from Florida with a U. S On December 13, 1958, a rocket was launched from Florida with a U.S. Navy trained South American squirrel monkey named "Gordo" onboard. The nosecone recovery parachute failed to operate and "Gordo" did not survive the flight. Telemetry data sent back during the flight showed that the monkey survived the 10g of launch, 8 minutes of weightlessness and 40g of reentry at 10,000 miles per hour. The nosecone sank 1,302 m downrange from Cape Canaveral and was not recovered.

Monkeys Able and Baker became the first monkeys to survive spaceflight after their 1959 flight. On May 28, 1959, the monkeys rode in the nosecone of a missile to an altitude of 360 miles (579 km) and a distance of 1,700 miles (2,735 km) down the Atlantic Missile Range from Cape Canaveral, Florida. They withstood forces 38 times the normal pull of gravity and were weightless for about 9 minutes. A top speed of 10,000 mph (14,00 km/h) was reached during their 16 minute flight. The monkeys survived the flight “in good condition. "

1960’s: January 14, 1961: Ham the chimp was launched in a Mercury capsule aboard a Redstone rocket. He was trained to pull levers to receive rewards. His flight demonstrated the ability to perform tasks during spaceflight. A little over 3 months later the United States sent Alan Shepard into space. Enos the chimp became the first primate in orbit on November 29, 1961, in another Mercury capsule.

The first tortoise in space and the first animal of any kind in deep space was launched September 14, 1968 by the Soviet Union. The tortoise was sent on a circumlunar voyage along with flies, worms, and other biological specimens. The capsule was recovered at sea September 21.
