10th November 1961. Goliath, a squirrel monkey, died in the explosion of the Atlas rocket.
20th December 1961. Scatback, a rhesus monkey, flew a sub orbital flight but was lost at sea after landing.
So no "monkey" went into space in 1961.

∙ 14y agoNASA launched two monkeys ,Able and Baker,on a Jupiter AM 18 rocket in May 1959.
There have been at least 2 Chimpanzee's( primates not monkeys) sent into space ,Ham and Enos, are the most famous. None of these missions were to the Moon to my knowledge since it was not possible to get the rocket to go fast enough and celestial navigation was not up to the job.
Therefore the first primates to orbit the moon were the human crew of Apollo 8 in 1968.
