Korabl-Sputnik 2A
1960-F09
Spacecraft 1K No. 1 (Vostok-1 No. 1) was launched in Jul 1960, but failed to reach orbit. The SAS escape system fired and the cabin was safely recovered near tracking station IP-1, but the dogs died due to acceleration-induced stress. It carried two dogs, Bars (`Snow Leopard'; or possibly Chayka `Seagull') and Lisichka (`Little Fox').
Varlomeyev gives the date as Jul 23. The Vostok PO was 2.5m dia, length of SA plus PO was 5.04m. Mass was 4600 kg.
