These dogs, including Laika, the first animal to orbit Earth, were surgically modified to provide the necessary information for human survival in space. The Soviet space program typically used female dogs due to their anatomical compatibility with the spacesuit. [1] Similarly, they used mix-breed dogs due to their apparent hardiness.
Laika was to be the "flight dog" – a sacrifice to science on a one-way mission to space. [20] Albina, who had already flown twice on a high-altitude test rocket, was to act as Laika's backup. The third dog, Mushka, was a "control dog" – she was to stay on the ground and be used to test instrumentation and life support. [8] [15]
