67 years ago, Laika was launched into space. 


Laika, ′′Little Barker"" but her real name was Kudrjavka, Russian for ′′curly."" She was captured on the street, in Moscow.


Half Husky and half Terrier, she was around 3 years old at the time. She was chosen because she was calm, docile and perfectly adaptable to the Sputnik 2 capsule. Equipped for life support (food and water), the mission didn't involve return. For Laika, it was a death sentence.


The interior of the satellite was lined and the interior space was wide enough to allow Laika to lie or stand. The internal temperature was set to 15. and a refrigeration system had to protect the animal from excessive thermal surges.


On November 3rd at 2 AM, Sputnik 2 was launched into space. Laika probably survived for seven hours.


But some sources claim that agony was much longer: four days.


Alone, in space.


The satellite returned to atmosphere 5 months later, April 14, 1958, after turning 2.570 laps around Earth.


It disintegrated upon return to the atmosphere.


RIP Laika
❤️
