Story
Belka and Strelka flew into orbit in August 1960 and returned alive, proving recovery from orbital flight could work.
Their story is recorded with both the technological achievement and the ethical context of animal experimentation.
They are archived because named animals helped shape the path from experimental flights to human spaceflight.
