FROGS is one of the Animal Ever Exploring Space

Before Yuri Gagarin made history by becoming the first man in space on 12 April 1996, a long trial of non-human astronaut was launched into the atmosphere to determine whether life forms could survive in space.

Even after the manned space missions become a routine procedure, the animals continue to be used for space experiments. The astronauts of animals have been instrumental in helping people succeed in space travel, this is one of these deserving animals.

FROGS

In 1970, NASA launched something called the Orbiting Frog Otolith program by sending two frogs into orbit (otolith word that refers to an ear-in mechanism to control the balance). OFO experiment was developed so that scientists can determine how otolith adjusted for weight.

Frogs in space from November 9 to 15 and the experiment was a success. Researchers can collect neurophysiological data they want, but unfortunately the plane could not be recovered after landing.
