Mammals (two mice and two monkeys) were recovered alive and unharmed after being fired to approximately 200,000 ft in upper atmosphere in Aerobee rocket; purpose of flight was to provide information on reactions under conditions of zero gravity and extreme altitude; telemetering and photographic equipment recorded activities; tests give added emphasis to Air Force belief that man will be able to withstand unusual forces expected in rocket flight to outer atmosphere.
