1961-008
The first uprated Vostok, Vostok-3A No. 1 (3KA No. 1) was launched on 1961 Mar 9, carrying a Noah's Ark of guinea pigs, mice, insects, seeds, and the dog Chernushka. It was the fourth named Korabl'-Sputnik. It also carried Ivan Ivanovich, a `cosmonaut-simulator' consisting of a Vostok spacesuit filled with monitoring equipment. The dummy was ejected during descent while the dog landed in the sphere.
