Rockets carrying small animals for biological research are called biological rockets. Its task is to send experimental organisms into the sky, study their adaptability to flight and tolerance to the comprehensive factors of flight in the rocket cabin, and study the effects of overweight and weightlessness, high-altitude ejection, cosmic radiation and other factors on the main physiological functions of biological bodies, so as to provide more reliable and effective design basis for space biology research and manned space living quarters and life support systems.
There are 4 rats and 4 mice, 12 biological test tubes, which contain biological products such as fruit flies and beards. In just a few minutes, they were honored to be the first "whispers" to board the rocket. Eight mice were still alive and kicking when the technicians took them out of the sealed cabin.
