The first person to die in space could have been any of the three Soviet cosmonauts Vladislav Volkov, Georgi Dobrovolski, and Viktor Patsayev, who were all killed on the Soyuz 11 mission on June 30, 1971 after a valve broke open and the air drained from their spacecraft.

∙ 13y agoThe first living organism that was projected from Earth to space was the fruitfly. They have very similar internal organs to humans and scientsts used them to test the g-force of take-off. Even now scientists still experiment on fruit flies because they reproduce so quickly and their internal organs are so similar to that of humans.

∙ 10y agoThe first mammal in space was a Rhesus monkey named Albert II, launched by the US on 14 June 1949 in a captured German V-2 rocket. His rocket reached an altitude of 134 Km but he died on impact after a parachute failed during the return to Earth.
The first mammal to orbit the earth was the dog Laika on November 3 1957 in the Soviet satellite Sputnik 2. which was not designed for her retrieval. Unfortunately Laikia died about six hours after launch. The satellite stayed in orbit for 2570 orbits over a period of about 5 months, and burned up on reentry.

Laika, the dog was the first mammal sent into space. Her food was in jelly form. She was Russian, and died within hours of the mission. The soviets told the story that she was going to be up in space for weeks, but the world was shocked after a few hours of the mission. She died because she was far past overheated, even thought there was a fan that provided cool air.
