    During the early 1950s, artificial satellites were only theoretical, though governments saw potential. The USSR launched Sputnik 2 with a dog onboard, the first living being to reach orbit, as a step towards understanding the effects of microgravity on humans. The US worked gradually to achieve the major goal of landing astronauts on the Moon, conducting preparatory missions to test if lunar travel was viable and safe for people.

    SPACE

    FACTS
    Start of the satellites:
    During the early 50's there was no artificial satellite
    orbiting the planet. Even its slight possibility was
    only based on theories, although it was still a very
    attractive topic for government entities.

    Living beings and their arrival in space:


    After having sent the first satellite, the USSR now had
    another goal, to get living beings into space. In this case, the
    biggest fear was the effect that microgravity and launch
    could have on a person. Sputnik 2 was launched into space
    with a dog, which would be the only living being capable of
    reaching orbit.

    The arrival to the Moon:


    One of the space events that required hard work was sending
    man to the Moon. For this reason, before achieving this, various
    missions were implemented to try to bring a person closer to
    the satellite little by little. The idea was to verify if the trip was
    viable for human beings and if the planet had a good sky to
    land there.
