Amazing
true
story
of
Belka
and
Strelka
Description:
1 volume (unpaged) : colour illustrations ; 28 cm.
Summary:
Meet
Belka
and
Strelka
, the two
dogs
who changed the face of
space
history and became international celebrities in the process! In 1960, two stray
dogs
were plucked from the streets of Moscow to become
space
pioneers. This quirky and delightful picture book tells the incredible
true
story
of these heroic strays. Selected from a number of potential canine cosmonauts,
Belka
and
Strelka
are put through their paces on the ground, as they practice rocket simulations and wearing spacesuits, before being launched into outer
space
as the first ever living creatures to successfully orbit the Earth. Miraculously, the
dogs
survive the mission and upon their return embark on a tour of the USSR, clad in their carefully tailored jumpsuits - one red, one green - becoming international celebrities in the process. As for their legacy, less than a year after their safe return the Soviet
space
programme felt confident enough to send the first human into
space
.
