CHIMP PROBABLE FIRST U.S. SPACEMAN

WASHINGTON -

The first American in orbit probably will be an ape-a chimpanzee answering to some such name as Ichabod, Mike, Bobo, or Tom III. It could be some Mickey or Minnie among the laboratory mice being trained for space tasks but the odds are that a chimp will make it first. And when the first American man sets foot on the moon, he will do so with the assurance that an animal astronaut has preceded him. The role of animals as space pioneers began back in 1952 when mice were sent aloft aboard Aerobee rockets in New Mexico. Experts of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) are planning ever more crucial jobs for a wide assortment of living things ranging up the scale from bacteria to chimps.

DOG SENT INTO ORBIT

The Russians already have put a dog into orbit around the earth and have sent dogs and rabbits to great altitudes to test their reactions to weightlessness, radiation and the great pressures of acceleration. The most dramatic space job yet performed by American animals took place on May 28, 1959. Two native-born monkeys, Able and Baker, rode a Jupiter nose cone 300 miles up and 1,700 miles down range from Cape Canaveral, Florida. They survived the 15-minute ride, but Able died later during surgery to remove an electrode. Bacteria green plants, and sea urchin eggs also have gone on rocket trips to help scientists determine what happens to living cells in gravity-free and radiant space. A Rhesus monkey will be the first astronaut to ride in one of the capsules being developed for Mercury, NASA’s manned-satellite program. The monkey won’t be sent into orbit but wil make a high, arching flight to help test the capsule recovery system.

MAN TO FOLLOW CHIMP

The first Mercury capsule fired into orbit will carry a chimpanzee. Only after the chimp successfully blazes the trail will one of the seven human Mercury astronauts be permitted to try it. Mice also will be put into orbit someday but possibly not in the Mercury program. One of the men deeply involved in selection and use of animals in space exploration is Dr. G. Dale Smith of NASA’s biotechnology section. Before man can safely venture outside his plant’s atmosphere scientists must learn “all we can about the environment of space, moons, and planets,” he has said. Animals will be used to test so-called life-support systems developed for long travels in space and also to do research on lunar and planetary surfaces if and when rockets powerful enough to land them there are developed. Smith told United Press International that animals picked for space roles are selected as carefully and trained as rigorously as the seven Mercury astronauts.
