We did not learn enough from this mission to justify the death of the dog. For other uses, see Laika (disambiguation) . Laika (Russian: Ð»Ð°Ð¹ÐºÐ°; c. 1954 â November 3, 1957) was a Soviet space dog who became one of the first animals in space, and the first animal to orbit the Earth.hree dogs were trained for the Sputnik 2 flight: Albina, Mushka, and Laika. Soviet space-life scientists Vladimir Yazdovsky and Oleg Gazenko trained the dogs. To adapt the dogs to the confines of the tiny cabin of Sputnik 2, they were kept in progressively smaller cages for periods of up to 20 days.
The first monkeys to survive space were Able and Miss Baker who were sent up in 1959. The Russians sent dogs up into space in addition to monkeys, which is why they did not send nearly as many monkeys into space as America did.Thus the first monkey that they actually sent into space was not until 1983.The monkeys that the Russians sent into space were named according to the letters of the alphabet.he Russians sent dogs up into space in addition to monkeys, which is why they did not send nearly as many monkeys into space as America did.
