Rhesus monkeys used in Soviet space research
Space monkeys. Rhesus monkeys sent into space as part of the Russian-American Biocosmos/Bion or Biosputnik space programme. These monkeys, called Verny and Gordy, were aboard the Cosmos 1667 mission, and were used in vestibular and blood flow research. The monkeys response to radiation exposure was also noted. Also aboard the Cosmos 1667 were rats, newts, insects and plants. The mission was launched from Plesetsk cosmodrome, Russia, on 10 July 1985 and returned to Earth successfully on 17 July 1985.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant chapter in the history of space exploration - the use of Rhesus monkeys in Soviet space research. Meet Verny and Gordy, two brave primates who embarked on an extraordinary journey as part of the Russian-American Biocosmos/Bion or Biosputnik space program. Onboard the Cosmos 1667 mission, these courageous monkeys played a crucial role in vestibular and blood flow research, shedding light on how living organisms adapt to the extreme conditions of outer space. Their response to radiation exposure was also closely observed, providing valuable insights for future manned spaceflight endeavors. But Verny and Gordy were not alone on this groundbreaking mission. Accompanying them were rats, newts, insects, and plants - a diverse group representing various branches of life that ventured into the unknown together. Launched from Russia's Plesetsk cosmodrome on 10 July 1985, Cosmos 1667 successfully returned to Earth seven days later. This remarkable achievement marked another milestone in our quest to unravel the mysteries beyond our planet's atmosphere. Photographed at Moscow's Institute of Medico-Biological Problems (IMBP), this image serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and exploration. It reminds us that even amidst political tensions during those times, scientific collaboration transcended borders as we strived towards understanding our place in the vastness of space. Courtesy of Science Photo Library, this print encapsulates both scientific progress and animal resilience - forever commemorating
