In 1783 a rooster, a duck and a sheep were placed in a basket attached to the first hot-air balloon. In the age of rockets and space travel, many more animals have travelled into orbit, and most have returned safely to earth. This book tells the stories of 50 trips into space, with details about the animals and the scientists involved. The experiments, often designed by students, originate from many countries. The book offers an appealing introduction to the purposes of space exploration and the possibilities of safe space travel. It encourages young readers to engage in real science like the young people they will read about in this book."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Animal space flight $x History $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Manned space flight $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Animal experimentation $v Juvenile literature. 700 1 $a Read, John A., $e author. 941 $a 13 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409035937.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010030108.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20220806013709.0 952 $l XSPE157 $d 20220708012842.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518024429.0 952 $l KTPC296 $d 20220510011047.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20210306020033.0 952 $l SWPB124 $d 20210205021710.0 952 $l WUPB305 $d 20210203011822.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20210130011100.0 952 $l VZPB964 $d 20210128011044.0 952 $l XBPE737 $d 20201002022656.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200828010120.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C0EAA022E8F311EAA33DDD052EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
