A reproduction of a Soviet badge from 1962 commemorating Laika the space dog’s first (and only) orbital mission.

The badge reads: “The first satellite/rocket passenger - Laika”.

Although Laika didn’t survive, most of the space dogs who followed her lived, and in some cases flew multiple missions.

Laika paved the way for the first cosmonauts to perform outer-orbital missions and flights.

$1 per sale will go to the SPCA.
