What animal did the Russians launch to earth before they launched a human?
They launched a dog. Her name was "Laika" but she wasnot of the race laika but a stray, originally named Kudryavka, she became the first animal to orbit the Earth and the first orbital death. Little was known about the impact of spaceflight on living things at the time Laika's mission was launched. Some scientists believed humans would be unable to survive the launch or the conditions of outer space, so engineers viewed flights by non-human animals as a necessary precursor to human missions.
Did Laika have success?
Kinda-sorta. From a human standpoint, the launch was successful, and she survived in orbit for a while, proving that humans could build things allowing living creatures to survive in orbit. But from Laika's perspective she experiences nasty, scary things before dying, probably quite painfully.
