The film doesn’t have footage of Laika suffering in space (thank God) but it does have plenty of clips of scientists putting Laika and a few other research dogs through a barrage of exercises-they spin in a centrifuge, dazed-and subjecting them to invasive, gruesome surgeries in order to rig them up with the necessary sensors to see how long they’d last alone above the planet’s atmosphere. In reality, she lasted less than a day before heat and stress killed her, turning the object of cosmic progress into her small coffin. For years, the party line from officials was that Laika had been humanely euthanized before the satellite reentered the atmosphere.
Despite initial assurances to the public that the pup would come back unharmed, she was always intended as a sacrifice to scientific progress, as there was no way to return her to Earth at the time. In 1957, the Soviet Union sent Laika to space in the satellite Sputnik 2. This relationship is not possible based on lifespan dates.Space Dogs uses archival footage to tell the story of the clever, docile, and doomed Moscow street dog Laika, the first mammal to go into orbit-and the first mammal to die there.

A recent Russian report said that Laika died after four days in space but, a more recent Russian report said that Laika probably died after only a few hours in space when the cabin overheated.
There were conflicting reports as to how long Laika survived during her flight. Laika proved that a living creature could survive the accelerations of lift-off as well as prolonged weightlessness. The dog had enough room to lie down, sit, and stand and, the dog received food from a dispenser. Russian scientists received data from biomedical sensors attached to Laika. On November 3, 1957, Laika was launched into orbit on board Sputnik 2, the world's second artificial satellite. Her name, Laika, is Russian for "barker " and, the dog was also named Kudryavka, which means "Little Curly" in Russian. One source listed Laika as being mostly Siberian husky while, another source described her as being fox terrier. The stray husky-mix dog was found on the streets of Moscow at the age of about three. Laika, a Russian female dog, was the first living creature to orbit the earth on board Sputnik 2.
