A dog orbited the earth as the first living thing to go out in space
The first monkeys in space were NOT in an aircraft, but in a V2 rocket made in Germany in WW2 and brought to USA after the war.
The animals that went into space were usually monkeys or dogs. The Russians used dogs and the United States used monkeys for most of the animal flights into space. Fruit flies were the first living things used for space flight testing.
Monkeys started going into space in the 1960s for President Kennedy when he decided to send monkeys into space.
Monkeys and dogs were sent into space before humans because they are more expendable than humans, thus they wanted to test the performance and safety of the rockets before risking any human lives
Animals in Space The first animals sent to space were fruit flies, in 1947 (by the US) - to test the effects of radiation on living creatures. This was followed by dogs (set by Russians) and mice (sent by the US). Many animals were to follow before the first humans were sent to space: such as dogs, cats, chimpanzees Throu, monkeys (rhesus monkeys and squirrel monkeys), rats, stick insects, quail eggs, newts, rats, squirrels and many others.
