Laika the space dog

First animal in space. Laika, the bitch who became the first animal in space, inside a mock-up of the cabin of the Soviet Sputnik 2 spacecraft. Sputnik 2 was launched on 3 November 1957. Laika (meaning " Barker" or " Husky" ) was contained within a sealed cabin with a food store and an air conditioner. Soviet propaganda at the time maintained that she survived for around a week, but in fact she died after just a few hours due to overheating and panic. The spacecraft was not designed to be recovered and it burnt up as it re- entered the atmosphere on 14 April 1958, 162 days after its launch. Still image from the documentary film First Soviet Satellites of the Earth.

EDITORS COMMENTS

This powerful print captures the tragic story of Laika, the brave space dog who made history as the first animal to journey into space. In this image, we see Laika inside a mock-up of the cabin from the Soviet Sputnik 2 spacecraft. Laika, whose name means "Barker" or "Husky" was enclosed within a sealed cabin equipped with food and air conditioning. Soviet propaganda at that time claimed that she survived for approximately one week in space. However, the truth is far more heartbreaking. Due to overheating and panic, poor Laika tragically passed away after just a few hours on her historic mission. The Sputnik 2 spacecraft itself was not designed for recovery and eventually burned up upon re-entry into Earth's atmosphere on April 14th, 1958 - exactly 162 days after its launch. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of both human achievement and sacrifice during this early era of space exploration. Taken from the documentary film "First Soviet Satellites of the Earth" this still image showcases not only an important milestone in scientific progress but also raises ethical questions about animal experimentation in pursuit of manned spaceflight. It stands as a testament to our relentless curiosity and determination to push boundaries beyond what seems possible – even at great cost.
