Argentina
On December 23, 1969, as part of the 'Operación Navidad' (Christmas Operation), Argentina launched Juan (a cai monkey, native to Argentina's Misiones Province) using a two-stage Rigel 04 rocket. It ascended only up to 60 kilometers and then was recovered successfully. This is below the international definition of space. Later, on the February 1, 1970 the experience was repeated with a female monkey of the same species using a X-1 Panther rocket. Although it reached a higher altitude than its predecessor, it was lost after the capsule's parachute failed.
