	BelKA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		BelKA (an acronym from Belarusian language: Belarusian Cosmic Apparatus) is the first satellite of independent Belarus.
		It is a remote sensing satellite that utilizes the Victoria universal satellite bus, developed by Belarusian reseachers and Russian Rocket and Space Corporation Energiya for National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Belarus as the final customer of the satellite.
		The name BelKA is an allusion to Russian space dogs, namely Belka, which together with Strelka orbited the Earth and returned safely on Sputnik 5 in 1960.

		Strelka later gave birth to six puppies, one of which was given to Caroline Kennedy, daughter of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, by Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev.
		Today, the bodies of Strelka and Belka remain preserved at the Memorial Museum of Astronautics in Moscow.
		Belka sits in a glass case in the museum while Strelka is part of a traveling exhibit that has visited the U.S., China, Australia, Israel and other countries.

		Two cosmo-canines named Belka and Strelka were sent into space aboard a Vostok in 1960, becoming the first creatures to survive orbital flight.

		Strelka was also preserved, but she is nowhere in sight during this visit.

		Two more dogs,Belka and Strelka, were placed in orbit by the Soviets on 19 August 1960 and successfully recovered after seventeen orbits.
		Of special interest is the fact that one of Strelka puppies later would be presented by Khrushev to president Kennedy as a very gracious but bitter-sweet gift symbolizing the Soviet's technological lead.
		Their bio-instrumentation was very similar to that of Laika giving Soviet space medical scientists additional information about the ability of the body to adapt to long term zero gravity.

	Sixties City - 60s Space Race History - Manned and Unmanned Missions
		Prior to 1960 there had been a number of experimental vehicles launched but flights involving animals had been comparatively unsuccessful.
		Even when the Russians managed to put two Samoyed dogs, Belka and Strelka, into orbit for 24 hours in August 1960 and brought them back alive it was still questionable whether manned spaceflight would be possible.
		The Russians are believed to have made four unsuccessful manned space shots prior to 1961 in which it is thought that cosmonauts Serentsky Schiborin, Andrei Mitkov, Alexis Ledovski and Ivan Kachur lost their lives.
