A 7-pound monkey named Sam was rocketed into space from here 12/4 to test satellite escape equipment which may save the lives of future human astronauts. In this photo released by National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Dr. Hugh Blodgett (left) and Dr. Lynn Brown, of the University of Texas, insert a monkey into a model of the biopack container prior to a stationary test. NASA did not indicate whether the monkey in this picture is "Sam."
