Monkey Makes
Sp ace Journey
WASHINGTON, (A — The Ar
my flung a tiny monkey into space
Saturday, hut lost it in the South
Atlantic.
Six hours after the monkey be
gan its journey in the nose cone
of a Jupiter intermediate range
ballistic missile the Army, an
nounced that the search for the
little space traveler had been
abandoned.
It was the first attempt by the
United States to put a primate —
a higher type of mammal — into
space to start a determination of
the effects of space travel upon
man.
The nose cone of the Jupiter,
with its cozy cabin for the squirrel
monkey, reached an altitude of
300 miles on its roaring trip from
Cape Canaveral. The altitude ori
ginally had been estimated at 600
miles. However, Army missile ex
perts later said that on the tra
jectory followed from the launch
ing pad to the target area, the
maximum altitude probably was
about 300 miles.
The Army reported the 1,500
mile flight was successful.
But. it said, “there appears to
have been a mishap in the tricky
recovery gear which is carried in
the nose cone to assist search
planes and ships” in recovery
efforts.
Brig. Gen. J. A. Barclay, com
mander of the Army Missile
Agency, said observers on Naval
vessels stationed in the target
area reported seeing three sections
of the Jupiter re-enter the earth’s
atmosphere.
A Navy doctor, Capt. Norman
Lee Barr, said the most signifi
cant information radioed from the
speeding nose cone «was that
weightless space travel appeared
to have little physical effect upon
the monkey.
The monkey wore a helmet of
molded electrical potting com
pound over chamois. It was
strapped face up in the cylinder,
with its knees drawn up. This po
sition provides the best resistance
to the strains imposed by gravity
as a missile blasts off.
Thermometers were placed un
der its armpits to record body
temperatures. Over its chest was
a pad of foam rubber containing a
microphone to listen to the heart
beats.
