Title:
Ham the Chimp, First Hominid in Space
Caption:
"Ham the Chimp," the first homonid in space, shown in the seat in which he rode during the 16 minute ballistic flight of the Mercury-Redstone 2 (MR-2) rocket in January of 1961. Ham's name is an acronym for the lab that prepared him for his historic mission - the Holloman Aerospace Medical Center in Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico. He was trained to do simple, timed tasks in response to electric lights and sounds.
