The dog Laika became the first living being of the Soviet hand to reach space.

67
years ago

03 November 1957,

The dog Laika became the first living creature to come into space. He traveled on the Sputnik 2 satellite launched by the Soviet Union. It was launched to demonstrate the conditions of survival by overcoming the atmosphere. He died a few hours after overheating. Laika was a street dog who became a world symbol.

A month earlier, on October 4, 1957, the Soviets, with the Sputnik satellite, the first man-made satellite to space, advanced the Americans in their space career and confirmed it with Laika. The game was to be closed with the Gagarin flight of 1961.
