No monkey was ever lost in space.

On June 11, 1948 a rhesus monkey named Albert died of suffocation while in a rocket test flight. He went up 63 kilometres, so he never left the earths atmosphere.

On September 16, 1949 Albert III, another rhesus monkey was supposed to go into space, but died when his rocket exploded at 10 km.

Other monkeys were killed in other rocket tests, and some of them did go into space. However in all those cases the deaths were due to crashes on landing, or other complications after landing.

The info above is so compelling that I don't want to edit it.

The monkey-like creature appearing in the movie Lost In Space was named Blarp, after the sound it made. I never found the sound or the name satisfying-- it sounds so much like a jumble of typical English phonemes. Of course the creature doesn't exist, but... blarp? Let's say I had trouble suspending disbelief.

The source for the following is the 'Lost In Space, TV' link below.
"Penny Robinson: (Angela Cartwright) An 11-year-old, she loves animals and Classical Music. She acquires a chimpanzee-like alien pet that made one sound, "Bloop". While it is sometimes remembered by that name, Penny had named the creature Debbie. Most of Penny's adventures have a fairy-tale quality, underscoring her innocence. She is also Dr. Smith's helpful mate."
