Soviet Space Dogs

 

Thanks to Duncan Geere for sharing this nice database. It is really a very interesting period before Yuri Gagarin flight.

These dogs were found in the street and trained to go to the space in really very hard conditions.

I use the template to prepare this graph where we see their ocupants (normally two dogs) and how in the sixtys several trips had succedd going into orbit for several days.

There are 5 flights not included due that the altitude of the flight is unknown.
