Original Note:
The first animals in space were launched by the US, not the USSR. In 1947, the US government used captured German V2 rockets to launch fruit flies into space in order to study the effects of radiation on living organisms. https://www.rmg.co.uk/stories/topics/what-was-first-animal-space#:~:text=While%20many%20flights%20into%20space,rocket%20on%2020%20February%201947.
