Laika




In October 2002, Dimitri Malashenkov, one of the scientists behind the Sputnik 2 mission, revealed that Laika had died by the fourth circuit of flight from overheating. Over five months later, after 2,570 orbits, Sputnik 2 - including Laika's remains - disintegrated during re-entry on 14 April 1958.

    The space monkey, yes that story I remember but I do not recall hearing or reading about Laika. Such a sad little part of space exploration, thank you for enlightenment Sunday.

    I too don't remember the Laka story. What a beautiful dog too. A shame her fate though.
