Слайд 5.  Some facts from the history of Russian space exploration:

It is Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite to circle the earth. Its capsule weighing 83.6 kg went into Earth orbit carrying a radio transmitter whose “bleeps” (pips) were received on the ground.

Belka and Strelka spent a day in space aboard Korabl-Sputnik-2 (Sputnik 5) on August 19, 1960 before safely returning to Earth. They were accompanied by a grey rabbit, 42 mice, 2 rats, flies and a number of plants and fungi. All passengers survived. They were the first Earth-born creatures to go into orbit and return alive.
