Trips to Space and Return
MOSCOW (AP)—A dog named Daring has made her fifth trip into space aboard a Soviet rocket and returned safely to earth, the Soviets reported today. A top rocket expert said this proves the dependability of the Soviet rocket recovery system.
A.A. Blagonravov, armed forces research expert and member of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, was commenting on a report that two dogs and a rabbit journeyed 130 miles above the earth in a rocket last month.
The dogs, the rabbit and the instruments were recovered fully intact, Blagonravov said, and were in fine condition right after landing and fit for repeated experiments.
The Soviet news agency Tass said the single-stage rocket, in a routine launching, carried a total weight of 4,629 pounds in animals and instruments and brought back valuable information on what happens to muscle tone in the weightless state spacemen will encounter.
America's space monkeys, Able and Baker, reached a height of 300 miles in a rocket flight last year and were recovered.
