Sputnik I went into low Earth orbit on 4 October 1957 and provided information on the density of the upper atmosphere, and basic information about the ionosphere.Sputnik II went into orbit on 3 November 1957 carrying the first (intentional) living passenger, a part Samoyed terrier named Kudryavka (Koo-dri-yav-ka, meaning "Little Curly"), who was later renamed Laika (Li-ka, meaning "Barker"). PS-2's mission was to gather biological information about Laika, to survey via Geiger counters charged particles in the upper atmosphere, and to read ultraviolet and x-ray emissions and cosmic rays with the onboard spectrometer.
