Belka and Strelka, prior to the launch of Korabl-Sputnik 2.

Korabl-Sputnik 2, launched on August 19, 1960, was the first spaceflight to send animals into space and safely recover them. Joining Belka and Strelka were forty mice, two rats, and various plants. 25 hours after launch, the spacecraft returned to Earth.

Korabl-Sputnik 2 was pivotal in certifying the Vostok spacecraft that would carry the first human, Yuri Gagarin, to space eight months later.

A year later, Strelka had a litter of puppies, one of which, Pushinka, was given to First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy as a goodwill present.
