A recent Russian report said that Laika died after four days in space but, a more recent Russian report said that Laika probably died after only a few hours in space when the cabin overheated. There were conflicting reports as to how long Laika survived during her flight. Laika proved that a living creature could survive the accelerations of lift-off as well as prolonged weightlessness. The dog had enough room to lie down, sit, and stand and, the dog received food from a dispenser. Russian scientists received data from biomedical sensors attached to Laika. On November 3, 1957, Laika was launched into orbit on board Sputnik 2, the world's second artificial satellite. Her name, Laika, is Russian for "barker " and, the dog was also named Kudryavka, which means "Little Curly" in Russian. One source listed Laika as being mostly Siberian husky while, another source described her as being fox terrier. The stray husky-mix dog was found on the streets of Moscow at the age of about three. Laika, a Russian female dog, was the first living creature to orbit the earth on board Sputnik 2.
