- Sam, a rhesus monkey, was one of the most well known monkeys of the space program. His name was an acronym for the U.S. Air Force School of Aviation Medicine at Brooks Air Force Base, Texas. He was launched on December 4, 1959, housed in a cylindrical capsule within the Mercury spacecraft atop a Little Joe rocket in order to test the **launch** escape system (LES). Approximately one minute into the flight, travelling at a speed of 3685 mph, the Mercury capsule aborted from the Little Joe **launch** vehicle. After attaining an altitude of 51 miles, the spacecraft landed safely in the Atlantic Ocean. Sam was recovered, several hours later, with no ill effects from his journey.
  Sam, un singe rhésus, figurait parmi les singes les plus connus du programme spatial. Son nom représentait l'acronyme de l'École de médecine aéronautique de l'armée de l'air américaine à la base aérienne de Brooks, au Texas. Il a été lancé le 4 décembre 1959, à bord d'une capsule cylindrique à l'intérieur du vaisseau spatial Mercury, au dessus d'une fusée Little Joe, afin de tester le système de déclenchement de la tour de sauvetage (LES). Au bout d'environ une minute de vol, à une vitesse de 5 929 km/h, la capsule Mercury s'est détachée du lanceur Little Joe. Après avoir atteint une altitude de 82 kilomètres, l'engin spatial s'est posé en toute sécurité dans l'océan Atlantique. Sam a été récupéré après quelques heures, sans aucune séquelles de son voyage.
