【Soviet Space Dog Laika】The first mammal to orbit Earth (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Cosmo likeness)

Laika (1954–1957), the first dog to orbit Earth, a pioneer of space exploration

This Laika model is based on "Space Dog Cosmo", a new member appearing in *Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2*

Laika was originally a stray dog from Moscow. In 1957, she became the first animal to orbit Earth aboard Sputnik 2. Her mission helped scientists study the effects of the space environment on life, becoming an important milestone in the history of space exploration. The former Soviet Union publicly stated that Laika survived for several days in orbit and was euthanized. In reality, according to mission records released by Russian scientists in 2002, Laika died approximately 5 to 7 hours after launch due to overheating and stress

Thank her for her contribution to human space exploration

Printing Instructions:

1. Single-color disassembled parts and AMS disassembled parts configurations are provided
2. All four paws and tail joints are tightly fitted. If they don't fit, try repeatedly to find the corresponding paw before applying glue
3. The head and spacesuit use "wrapped ball joints". Wrap both ends of the double-ended ball joint with the wrapping piece, then press it into the installation slot. The joint size used this time is d14 with a 0.15 tolerance, allowing for flexible rotation while being quite tight, so glue is not necessary
