One of them died, another one survived and the third one was saved after a public outcry.
In June 1948, Albert became the first Rhesus monkey to be launched into space. He was aboard a V-2 rocket, which was part of the U.S. military's research efforts into space travel. The rocket reached an altitude of approximately 39 miles. The parachute failed to open during descent, resulting in Albert's death upon impact.
The 2nd Rhesus monkey to be launched into space was named Albert II. This animal was also launched aboard a V-2 rocket. This was done by the U.S. military and scientific community to gain insights into the physiological effects of space travel. Albert II's journey did not achieve a stable orbit around the Earth. Instead, the rocket reached a high altitude before coming safely back to Earth. The monkey's ability to survive the journey, helped the military to understand the potential for human spaceflight.
The 3rd monkey was due to be launched into space later in 1949. He was called Albert III, but because of a public outcry against using these animals in space experiments, his journey was cancelled. The use of primates in early space missions sparked ethical debates regarding animal welfare. Those poor monkeys must have been terrified.
