From the above data, we derive a list of non-human primates who have flown above my 'space boundary' definition of 80 km. I've decided to include only primates in the astronaut listing, partly to suit my own whim and partly since there were a lot of poorly documented canids.
Albert I was from the Wright Field Aero Medical Lab. Mass was 4 kg. The AFCRL had obtained several V-2 flights, the "Blossom" series. They offered rides to AML.
Albert II and IV died on impact due to parachute failure. They were from the Aeromedical Lab at Wright-Patterson.
The Aerobee flights and the V-2 flights involved seven Rhesus, Cebus and Cynomolgos monkeys.
Gordo died on splashdown. Able died from the effects of anesthesia during an operation to remove electrodes, a few days after landing. Baker died of kidney failure at age 27, in retirement at the Alabama space and rocket center.
Sam was from the USAF School of Aviation Medicine. Ham, from Holloman Aerospace Medical Center, was 3yr 8mo old at launch. He retired to the Washington Zoo and then to N. Carolina, and died at age 25.
The Bion monkeys were 'subadults' so probably less than a year old?

The ABMA flights were by the Army Medical Service in cooperation with the USN and USAF Schools of Aviation Medicine.
Ham was purchased by USAF on 1959 Jul 9. Enos was purchased on 1960 Apr 3. Enos's backups were Ham, Duane, Jim and Rocky, all from HAML.
Krosh and Ivasha were reported to be from the Sukhumi primate center in Gruziya, but in another source from the IMBP colony in Moskva. One of the Bion 9 monkeys was No. 2483.
