HISTORY WAS MADE ON THIS DAY IN 1957

AWESOME SPACE TIMELINE OF AWESOMENESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! timeline | Tim

The Soviet Union launched the first animal to orbit the earth
into space—a dog nicknamed Laika—aboard the Sputnik 2
spacecraft.

Laika (above) part Siberian husky, lived as a stray on the
Moscow streets before being enlisted into the Soviet space
program.

Laika survived for a few hours as a passenger in the USSR’s
second artificial Earth satellite, kept alive by a sophisticated
life-support system.

Electrodes attached to her body provided scientists on the
ground with important information about the biological
effects of space travel. She
died from overheating and
panic.
