Framed Print of Laika the space dog postcard
Laika the space dog postcard. Artwork on postcard of Laika, the bitch who became the first animal in space. She was launched aboard the Soviet Sputnik 2 spacecraft. Sputnik 2 was launched on 3 November 1957. Laika (meaning Husky or Barker ) was contained within a sealed cabin with a food store and an air conditioner. Soviet propaganda at the time maintained that she survived for about 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. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © DETLEV VAN RAVENSWAAY/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
