Space has always been something that every country is very willing to explore. In this vast world, there are already many unknown things on the earth where humans have lived for generations, not to mention the distance. of space. The earth is the only planet currently known to be suitable for human survival, but all energy will be exhausted.

Whether it is looking for the next planet suitable for human habitation or exploring an unknown world, space will definitely become the goal of human exploration. With the continuous development of science and technology, allowing life to enter space and then return will become an important scientific research achievement. Therefore, in 1955, the Soviet Union placed the important task of entering space on a stray dog.

1. Stray dogs

In addition to the increasing garbage and population in every city, there will certainly be no shortage of stray animals. Space is always unknown. Although it has always been the wish of scientific researchers to allow life to enter space, there are many experimental processes before the success of every scientific and technological achievement.

The Soviet Union sent a 3-year-old stray dog ??Laika into space 65 years ago. Because the environment in space is so different from that on Earth, the stray dog ??Laika was secretly trained before being sent to space. The reason why they chose stray dogs at that time was because stray dogs have experienced many hardships and their psychological endurance must be stronger than domestic dogs.

2. Entering space

In this way, in 1957, this stray dog ??Laika, who was given a lot of hope, joined the Soviet Union's "Sputnik-2" Into space. And this is also the first life form to enter space from the earth. For the first time, life has entered space, and any data transmitted back is very important.

In order to better understand the specific conditions of life in space, the stray dog ??Laika has been placed in a pressurized closed capsule. There are many instruments installed inside, which can be used to monitor all the vital signs of the stray dog ??Laika. At the same time, a camera has been monitoring the status of the stray dog ??Laika.

As we all know, humans later successfully entered space and returned to Earth, completing explorations again and again. So what is the current situation of Laika, the stray dog ??who was used as an experimental subject?

3. The hidden truth

At that time, the satellites launched by the Soviet Union were not equipped with return devices, so this meant that the stray dog ??Laika was bound to die. At the beginning, the official statement of the Soviet Union was that the stray dog ??Laika lived safely in space for four days and finally died after eating poisonous food provided by scientists.

The news that the stray dog ??Laika was euthanized turned out to be false. The stray dog ??Leika did die in space, but she died within a few hours of going to space. Because of the temperature difference between the earth and space, Laika and the stray dog ??suffered painful torture in the high-pressure and hot environment.

All the measures that the scientific researchers prepared for this stray dog ??to ensure its life safety failed after it arrived in space. These brief hours proved that mammals can indeed survive in space under certain conditions. It is precisely because of this that later humans will enter space and successfully return to Earth.

At that time, in order to protect the real data and the confidentiality level of this matter was very high, the relevant information about the stray dog ??Laika was hidden.

Conclusion

Every life lost should be remembered, especially those who have made significant contributions. In the year when the stray dog ??Leika entered space, the Soviet Union issued a stamp to commemorate the contribution of this stray dog. The name of the stray dog ??Leika also became a cigarette brand and trademark. Because of the important contribution this puppy has made, many families will also name the puppy Laika.

The day when the stray dog ??Laika died in space has become a particularly special historical moment for the country. Every year on November 3, people will come to commemorate this stray dog. dog.
