Another Soviet
Dog Joins Pioneer
Space Riders
MOSCOW UP) — A five-ton
space ship with a dog aboard was
launched into orbit yesterday and
landed safely, the Soviet govern
ment announced.
The official News Agency Tass
said the space ship landed some
where in the Soviet Union on a
signal from the earth, duplicat
ing a feat announced last August.
Aboard the space ship in a
special cabin was a dog named
Chernushka (brunette) “and other
biological objects,” Tass said.
“The initial inspection of the
landed vessel proved that the ex
perimental animal feels well.”
Chernushka thus joined the
dogs Strelka (arrow) and Belka
(squirrel) as pioneer space vehi
cle riders.
In their voyage last August, the
Soviets said Strelka and Belka
traveled about 435,000 miles in
orbit.
The Tass announcement did not
say how far Chernushka traveled,
but the maximum height of the
space ship's orbit was given at
154.5 miles. The minimum height
of the orbit was 113.4 miles.
A Tass announcement broad
cast in Russian by Moscow radio
said the aim of the new test “is
the further adjustment of the de
sign of the space ship and of the
systems on board so as to insure
the necessary conditions for the
flight of man.”
Lung cancer is twice as pre
valent in Great Britain as in the
United States, although Americans
smoke far more cigarettes than
the British.
