Laika died in Sputnik 2 due to overheating and stress. The spacecraft's life support systems were inadequate, and it became too hot for her to survive after just a few hours in orbit. Despite her significant contribution to space exploration, her death highlighted the ethical concerns regarding the treatment of animals in scientific research.
