Moon Mission May Include Living Organism
A U S press report notes a possibility that an American satellite could carry a living organism into space next year. The plan aims at basic experiments on living matter in space conditions, though no living creature is yet confirmed. Vanguard continues tests, with further experiments depending on early launch successes.
Space flight debates live organisms in early test plans
A committee spokesman declined to specify the living organism experiments under consideration saying only that they involve simple but fundamental life processes. He suggested future tests may use living beings beyond the IGY satellite program. Dr Hagen noted he would not want to send a dog as the Russians did with Sputnik II, saying a rat or monkey is a closer test proxy. Past U.S. space tests included mice and monkeys. Air Force major David Simons recently reached 102000 feet in a balloon flight, but Hagen cautioned that years may pass before a human can safely return from space.
