Between Bright PlacesLaika, a street dog and first living creature in history to orbit the earth! 🐶🚀🌍<br> Her launch took place during the Sputnik 2 mission on 3 November 1957, only 32 days after Sputnik 1 huge success.<br> <br> Sputnik 2 was a cone-shaped capsule of 4 m high, a base diameter of 2 m and weighed 500 kg. It contained several compartments for radio transmitters, a telemetry system, a programming unit, a regeneration and temperature-control system for the cabin and scientific instruments. A separate sealed cabin gave enough room for Laika to lie down or stand. The pressurized cabin could provide food and water in a gelatinized form, contained an air regeneration system to provide oxygen, and monitored The canine cosmonaut’s vital activity with electrodes.<br> <br> Unfortunately, the mission wasn’t plan to bring Laika back to earth safely, as political pressure gave very little time to scientists to prepare a return mission. Even if the mission provided valuable first data on the behavior of a living organism in space, a return mission would have enable to get a lot more useful data. In 1998, Oleg Gazenko, the scientist who trained and selected Laika, expressed regrets regarding Laika death and said:<br> “Work with animals is a source of suffering to all of us. We treat them like babies who cannot speak. The more time passes, the more I’m sorry about it. We shouldn’t have done it. We did not learn enough from the mission to justify the death of the dog.”<br> <br> Image credit 📸 ИТАР-ТАСС/Архив<br> <br> Catch you in the next post! 👩‍🚀👨‍🚀<br> <br> For more content follow <a class="u-url mention" href="https://pixelfed.de/betweenbrightplaces" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@betweenbrightplaces</a> ✨<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/roscomos?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#roscomos</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/lowearthorbit?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lowearthorbit</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/sputnik2?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sputnik2</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/laika?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#laika</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/dog?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dog</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/dogofmastodon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dogofmastodon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/dogofpixelfed?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dogofpixelfed</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/animalinspace?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#animalinspace</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/space?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#space</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/science?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#science</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/orbit?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#orbit</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/spaceexploration?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spaceexploration</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/spacerace?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spacerace</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/spacescience?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spacescience</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/spaceexploration?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spaceexploration</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/retrospaceflight?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrospaceflight</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/teamspace?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#teamspace</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.de/discover/tags/betweenbrightplaces?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#betweenbrightplaces</a>
