Miss Baker and Miss Able two monkeys who were the first American animals, and some of the first animals in general, ever to travel into space and make it back alive (they lost only to a couple of Russian dogs).

The most famous and successful of these experiments was the May of 1959 launch of Abel, a rhesus monkey, and Miss Baker, a squirrel monkey. Their safe landing made them the first primates to return safely to Earth after traveling in space. Unfortunately, Abel died several days after returning to Earth during a procedure to remove the electrodes implanted in her body.
