A sad story, but a necessary space explorer. In those days men didnt know what happened when lifeforms were launched on rockets. Clearly Laika provided data that helped Yuri Gagarin and other cosmonauts.

          atmosphere and into space.  It wasn't a man, a woman or even a
          monkey; it was stray dog.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://dogsinthenews.com/issues/0211/articles/021103a.htm">That much is
          public knowledge, but a
          secret that has been kept for 45 years was just released last week at
          the <A target="_blank" href="http://www.aiaa.org/wsc2002/" linkindex="11" set="yes">World Space
          Congress</A> in Houston.  "Laika", the first astronaut
          of the planet Earth, died of fright just after take-off.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://dogsinthenews.com/issues/0211/articles/021103a.htm">Russian authorities had previously
            circulated reports that Laika survived in orbit for four days and
            then died when the cabin overheated due to a battery malfunction.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://dogsinthenews.com/issues/0211/articles/021103a.htm">In reality, medical sensors recorded that immediately after
            the launch, as her capsule reached speeds of nearly 18,000 miles per
            hour (28,800km/h), her pulse rate increased to three times its normal level,
            presumably due to overheating, fear and stress.  Five to seven hours into
            the flight, no further life signs were received from Laika.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/ECFE0221-08A4-41E3-BB5A-A5138ED08C6A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
