1960-017
Vostok-1 No. 3 (1K No. 3, Korabl'-Sputnik-3) was launched on 1960 Dec 1. It carried two dogs, Pchelka and Moucka, but they were killed when the spacecraft was destroyed during reentry. The attitude of the vehicle at retrofire was in error, with an effective underburn putting the descent trajectory on course for China, and the SA was destroyed by the auto destruct system.
