5 Animals that explore space. You know? Before Yuri Gagarin made history by becoming the first man in space on April 12, 1961 of a long trial of non-human astronaut was launched into the atmosphere to determine whether life forms could survive space. Even after the manned space missions become a routine procedure, the animals continue to be used for space experiments. Curious?

Lets explore
the five !

1. Rat

The first rat off to outer space named Hector, and returned to earth safely.
February 1961, this mouse comes from the French state.

2. Monkey

The launch of Air Force Aeromedical Laboratory, "Albert" (June 1948 - August 1950) at White Sands, NM is the first experiment using primates. Albert first launched on June 11, 1948. Unfortunately he does not survive (in fact, she was not even up into space).

3. Water jacko/newt

Liberian origin female newt was brought to the mission of The Bion 7 (1985).
For an understanding of the wound and the rate of regeneration, was wounded in the newt sectionfrom the front legs. The fact is newt can regenerate significantly faster
in space.

4. Frog

In 1970, NASA launched something called the Orbiting frog otolith program by sending two frogs into orbit (otolith word that refers to an ear-in mechanism to control the balance). Ofo experiment was developed so that scientists can determine how otolith weight adjusted.

Frogs are in space from November 9-15 and the experiment was a success. Neurofisiologis researchers can collect data they want, but unfortunately the plane could not be found again after landing.

5. Cat

Not satisfied with simply launching the first rat into space, the French decided they also sent the first cat on the moon in October 1963. They found the cat on the street, and named Felix (this may be the origin of a cartoon character Felix the Cat), raised an AGI Véronique rocket, and launch it into space. And yes, the cat is returned safely. France was awarded the First Cat In Space.

The animal that first go to outer space must proud, not all animal species can go to outer space.
