Welcome to IOU Digital Library

Animals in Space offers a comprehensive, thoroughly researched history of the role of animals in spaceflight from the early test rockets up through space shuttle missions. It covers how and why animals (dogs, primates, rodents, etc.) have been used by different spacefaring nations (especially the U.S. and Soviet Union), the experimental methods and technologies involved, and how animal experiments impacted the development of human spaceflight. It also explores ethical issues, public reaction to animal spaceflight, and how knowledge gained from these animal missions contributed to space biomedicine and safety in human missions.
