Scientists have tried to sent files, battles, wasps and monkeys into space since 1947. They wanted to test first with animals if living beings can survive in space. They first sent a fruit fly and then a monkey to find out if they could survive. In November 1957, the Russians sent a dog named Laika into space. She was the first animal to orbit the Earth. She travelled in a spacecraft named Sputnik2.
