Thank you, I will try. I am preparing an exhibition to mark the anniversary flight Laika into space.
The exhibition will be a variety of missiles, modules and devices that are associated with animals and the universe.

for anyone interested, Laika was the first living organism sent into orbital space. she did not last long. . . here's a link about her Laika the Cosmonaut Dog: USSR sends first living creature into orbit | Time.com
As a dog lover, i am (was) appalled, but she contributed much to space travel.

Thank you for the information about Laika.

They Laika, other dog astronauts but also other animals in space.
And not only models, but all that relates to flight layman.
Watch project Laika, you'll find more of our work.

Interesting, but the treatment of the animals I do find very upsetting. There were no measures taken to either really ensure decent euthanasia or partial support.

And unfortunately, this aspect was largely glossed over or a subject of disinformation.

Yes I agree.
Some animals were sent to their deaths, to determine when and why they die.
And unfortunately most of them die in rockets flew United States.
