A dog was sent to space to study the effects of space travel on living organisms, helping scientists understand how astronauts might fare during space missions. Laika, the first dog in space, was used to test the safety and feasibility of sending humans into space.
He was the first dog launched into space by the Russians.
No dog has ever been launched into space from the USA.
To see if it was possible to survive to be launched into space.
the first people/ nation to send some form of satellite into space is the russians with thesputnik 1
No, Russia was the first country to send up a object to space.The answer above is not correct.The first object sent into space was a German V2 in 1942. There even is a movie showing the first images of space.Soviet Union sent the first flight with an animal (the Dog Laïka), and the first flight with a human (Yuri Gagarine)
As I studied in the books in the library or in other places,I am pretty confidence that a dog went to the space first send by Russia.But,by bad luck the Russian dog named Laika died when returning to Earth due to the Russian miss calculation of storage of oxygen.
Russia was the first in space where they went around the earth a few times but USA was the first on the moon. The first to send three into space though, was the USA.
