Frogs in Space: A Brief History

Technology

#Rocketfrog is only the latest amphibian to get a taste of space.

By Megan Garber

On Friday, this happened:

The event -- a frog, taking an unexpected flight via a rocket -- may seem unusual. But #rocketfrog, as the little guy has become known, is not the first amphibian to, with the help of some human ingenuity, get a little closer to the final frontier. Nor is it the second. Nor is it the third. NASA and other space agencies, in their zeal to test the effects of microgravity on different organisms, have sent many, many other frogs into space -- not accidentally, as was the case with Friday's LADEE launch, but purposely. For science.

Below, a brief history of frogs in space. Frogonauts, if you will.

1. V2 Rockets, United States, 1950s

According to D.E. Beischer's Animals and Man in Space: A Chronology and Annotated Bibliography Through the Year 1960, frogs were among the many creatures the U.S. included as passengers when it experimented with launching high-altitude balloons, via German V2 rockets, to heights up

VEGA and frog astronauts: Success of space technologies from Brno

In November 2023, the Czech Republic celebrated the 15th anniversary of its membership in the European Space Agency (ESA). This membership enables Czech research organizations and businesses to participate in the agency’s scientific missions. The fact that the Czech Republic has made significant progress and is gaining prominence in the global space community is demonstrated by the involvement of Czech entities in space missions, with some even taking the lead.

S.A.B. Aerospace Sends Ideas to Space

The largest company in the Czech space industry is S.A.B. Aerospace, a subsidiary of the Italian company of the same name. It designs, develops, and integrates systems and components for the European Space Agency. It is also one of the founding companies of the Brno Space Cluster, which brings together companies and institutions active in the commercial space market.

Have you heard about the VEGA rocket? This European light launch vehicle carried Czech technology into space for the first time in history in 2020. It w

Orbiting Frog Otolith

NASA space program which sent frogs into orbit

The Orbiting Frog Otolith (OFO) was a NASA space program which sent two bullfrogs into orbit on November 9, 1970, for the study of weightlessness. The name, derived through common use, was a functional description of the biological experiment carried by the satellite. Otolith referred to the frog's inner ear balance mechanism.

The Orbiting Frog Otolith Program was a part of the research program of NASA's Office of Advanced Research and Technology (OART). One of the goals of the OART was to study the vestibular system function in space and on Earth. The experiment was designed to study the adaptability of the otolith to sustained weightlessness, to provide information for human spaceflight. The otolith is a structure in the inner ear that is associated with equilibrium control: acceleration with respect to gravity as its primary sensory input.

The Frog Otolith Experiment (FOE) was developed by Torquato Gualtierotti of the University of Milan, Italy, when he was assigned to the Ames Research Cente
