Animals require much the same conditions for life as humans. It was not known if humans could survive in space, so animals were first used because they were considered expendable.
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.
To measure the effects of space travel on animals before risking a manned space flight. In the early stages of a project, animals are use as a method of risk management. In other words, if plan "A" did not work, at least there would not be a loss of human life.
NASA has sent various animals to space for scientific research, including fruit flies, spiders, monkeys, mice, and most famously, chimpanzees. These animals were used to study the effects of space travel on living organisms and to gather valuable data for human space exploration.

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.
The correct sequence of important early space flights is as follows: Yuri Gagarin's Vostok 1 (1961) - first manned orbital flight Alan Shepard's Freedom 7 (1961) - first American in space John Glenn's Friendship 7 (1962) - first American to orbit the Earth
Animals were the first living thing in space.
yes, of course, the first animal that went to space was monkey.
