Sputnik 2 orbited the Earth for about 162 days before re-entering the atmosphere and burning up on April 14, 1958.
Sputnik 2 completed one orbit on its mission on November 3, 1957. It carried the dog Laika, the first living being to orbit the Earth.
The name of Laika's spacecraft was Sputnik 2. She was the first living being to orbit the Earth in this spacecraft in November 1957.
Sputnik 1 and Sputnik 2 were artificial satellites that traveled around the Earth. People thought that Sputnik 1 was spying on them, but all it did was transmit a simple tracking signal for 3 weeks.
November 3th 1957, launched on Sputnik 2(not to be confused withKorabl-Sputnik 2.) Laika was the first animal in orbit also the first to die in orbit.
None. She died within hours of the launch from overheating.

Sputnik was a series of satellites built and launched by the then Soviet union. Sputnik 1 and 2 became the first two man made objects to attain orbit around the Earth.
Sputnik with its puppy dog passenger( Laika ) was launched in October 1957, and remained in orbit until early 1958, when it reentered EarthÂ’s atmosphere and burned up Sputnik 1 was in orbit for 3 months, completing 1440 orbits. Sputnik 2, Laika's flight, was in orbit for 162 days. There were other missions, but these two, especially Sputnik 1, were the ones to capture the world's - especially the US'- attention.
The first dog to orbit the Earth was Laika, a Soviet space dog who was launched into space on November 3, 1957, aboard the spacecraft Sputnik 2.
The first artificial satellite to orbit the Earth was a Soviet satellite named Sputnik I. It was launched by the USSR on October 4, 1957, followed by Sputnik 2 in November.

Sputnik 2 was about 4 meters tall and weighed around 500 kilograms. It was the second spacecraft launched into Earth's orbit by the Soviet Union in 1957, carrying the first living being, a dog named Laika.
