Belka and Strelka are Soviet astronaut dogs, the first animals to take part in orbital space flight and return to Earth unharmed. The flight took place on board the ‘Sputnik-5’. It launched on August 19, 1960, and the flight lasted more than 25 hours, during which time the ship made 17 full revolutions around the Earth.
Pilots, especially pet owners!
We are pleased to announce the launch of a new competition of creative works in honour of this momentous event in the history of space exploration. Victory in this competition will be a daunting task for any pilot, unless he has a crew of faithful furry (or not so furry) pets.
Warning! Mercenaries, we declare a general draft for all teams, consisting of two pets ready to go on a dangerous journey to explore the unknown corners galaxy.
Do not miss the chance to present your team and prove that it is worthy to replace Belka and Strelka on the path of discovering all secrets of deep space!
