EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases Belka, the iconic Soviet space dog, donning a spacesuit. Belka's presence in this image symbolizes the groundbreaking achievements of the Soviet space program during the early years of manned spaceflight. As part of an animal experiment conducted by the Russian and Soviet space agencies, Belka played a crucial role in advancing our understanding of living organisms' ability to withstand the extreme conditions of outer space. Her mission aboard Sputnik 5, also known as Korabl-Sputnik 2, marked a significant milestone in aerospace history. In her specially designed spacesuit, Belka embodies bravery and resilience as she embarked on this daring journey into uncharted territory. This photograph serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and our unwavering curiosity about what lies beyond Earth's atmosphere. The image captures not only Belka's adorable appearance but also represents countless hours of scientific research and dedication by scientists and engineers involved in the Soviet space program. It stands as a reminder that exploration knows no boundaries – even our furry companions have contributed to expanding humanity's reach into outer space. Science Photo Library has expertly preserved this extraordinary moment for us to appreciate and reflect upon how far we've come since those pioneering days.
