Description: Soviet space badge USSR "Laika-Dog" Laika (1954 - November 3, 1957) - a dog-cosmonaut, the first animal launched into near-earth orbit.Despite the tragic outcome of the mission, Laika became a symbol of early space achievements. In the 90s, when the USSR collapsed, interest in historical events and their symbolism increased, which led to the creation of many badges and commemorative items. Laika was a homeless dog, picked up on the street. She was chosen for the flight because of her small size and calm nature, which was considered important for adapting to the conditions in the spacecraft.The Sputnik-2 spacecraft was equipped with a special capsule in which Laika was located. It maintained living conditions: oxygen supply, temperature control, and food in the form of a gel. The badge is made of metal, with an enamel coating. Good and rare badges from the USSRThank you for visit my page, pay attention to my other lots!!! Good luck!!!
