Space Dog Laika

The first Earth traveler in space is the cosmonaut dog Laika.

67 years ago, a dog named Laika became the first creature from Earth sent on an orbital flight around our planet.

On November 3, 1957, on board the Soviet Sputnik-2 spacecraft, Laika, an ordinary Moscow mongrel, made history.

It is known that at that time, Laika was about three years old.

Laika was chosen for her calm character and endurance, and also because stray dogs, accustomed to the harsh life on the street, were considered more stress-resistant.

Laika’s mission provided invaluable data on the survival of living beings in space and became the basis for all future manned missions.
