Who was Able the monkey?

Able, a rhesus monkey trained by NASA, was one of the first two living creatures to reach space and return to Earth.The First Astro-MonkeysOn May 28, 1959, Able, a rhesus monkey, and Miss Baker, a squirrel monkey, became the first living beings to successfully return to Earth after traveling in space. On their suborbital flight, they travelled in excess of 16,000 km/h, and withstood 38 g of acceleration, suggesting that human space travel was both feasible and survivable.Unfortunately, Able had contracted a serious infection from one of the electrodes used to monitor his vital signs. He died 4 days after the flight from complications of anesthesia. His body was preserved and is on permanent display at the National Air and Space museum.(Miss Baker died November 29, 1984 at the age of 27 and is buried on the grounds of the United States Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama.)
