I was a big fan of the Muppet's regular sketch 'Pigs in Space' so I'm glad he looks OK. The pig has mud on it’s nose in pic 15 after going for a quick snuffle after landing (pic 14).

It looks like a glorified circus cannon and was probably a very early study into the effects of rapid acceleration.

Maybe it was a marinade :D I don’t know the story behind these pictures but there is no possibility that that contraption put the pig into space, or even very high.
