    Description

    Historic Space Exploration Photo!
    Miss Baker was a squirrel monkey who, on May 28, 1959, along with rhesus macaque Miss Able, became one of the first two animals launched into space by the United States and safely returned!
    Miss Baker wore a helmet lined with rubber and chamois leather plus a jacket for launch, in addition to a respiration meter affixed to her nose with model cement, and she was fitted into a snug capsule the size of a shoebox. She was launched to an altitude of 300 miles on a Jupiter rocket and landed in the Atlantic Ocean near Puerto Rico. She survived the space flight and lived until 1984!!!
