Coin Commemorates First Chimp in Space
Get a genuine US half dollar enhanced by Mystic to commemorate the flight of Ham the Astrochimp. On January 31, 1961, Ham was launched into suborbital flight on the Mercury-Redstone 2 mission. Known as No. 65, he was renamed after safely landing back on Earth. Ham was the acronym for the Holloman Aerospace Medical Center, where the chimpanzee was trained.
During his two years of training, Ham was taught to perform specific tasks, such as pushing a lever after seeing a light flash. During the historic flight, the chimp’s vital signs and reaction times were monitored. The results of Ham’s flight led to the flight of the first American, Alan Shepard, the following May.
