Descrizione : On 14 July 1966, a T-7A-II biology sounding rocket was launched from the Ganged launch site. Its passenger was China`s first space dog Xiao Bao (“Little Leopard”), who was selected from a pool of 30 experimental dogs through a strict training and screening process. The dog was trained to accept confinement, spacesuit, noise, vibration and physiological sensors. The rocket reached an altitude of 100 km, before returning the passenger capsule safely to Earth. Two weeks later a second launch was conducted on 28 July, sending space dog Shan Shan into space and then safely recovering.
