First dog in space died within hours


Soviet officials had said she died painlessly in orbit about a week after launch, but new information just released says she died from overheating and panic just a few hours after the mission started.

The new evidence was revealed at the recent World Space Congress in Houston by Dimitri Malashenkov of the Institute for Biological problems in Moscow.
