been in space for decades there's still much that we need to know if we want to travel further away from planet earth what is the purpose of all the previous flights when you're the buying program how the zero g. condition effects living organisms and to conduct experiments that can be carried out in humans but are possible in animals the biome program starting in one nine hundred seventy over a dozen trips have taken animals into space to conduct unique research that when the animals were brought back research is looked at their muscle mass and the effects of exposure to cosmic radiation and over time the research has yielded a galaxy of rewards. according to foreign analysts about seventy percent of our knowledge about the effect of weightlessness on organisms comes from these experiments on board satellites now it's these mongolian journals time to go into orbit they'll spend thirty days floating round earth after which cell come back and

be examined to see how they've changed. and they'll be the heirs of all those pioneering animals that went before the bike like the first space traveler and stroll current belka who followed a few years later. we specialised in aerospace medicine and biology never forget that the role began with animals as a matter of fact animals blazed the trail for mankind into space. the previous journeys of animals into space have lasted a maximum of twelve days this one will last thirty and that longer period of experimentation it's hoped will tell us more about what the human crew of the mars mission might experience this mongolian job or might not look like much of a cosmonaut nor is he the first animal in space but like the monkeys dogs and other rodents that have gone before him he could help humans reach the stars tom watson
