when did laika the dog go into space?
november 3 , 1957
sputnik 2 launched almost a month later on november 3, 1957 with a mission goal of carrying the first dog, laika, into earth orbit. this mission, though unsuccessful in the sense that laika did not survive the mission, further established the ussr's position in the cold war. not only were the soviets capable of launching a missile into space, but they could continue to complete successful space launches before the united states could complete one launch.
