Caption :

This is one of the R-2A missiles, thirteen of which were launched between 1957 and 1960. Many of them carried biological containers with dogs to altitudes as high as 200 kilometers. A similar container was used to carry Layka, the first living being to reach orbit, into orbit on Sputnik 2. For a brief period, Sergey Korolev, the father of the Soviet space program, also planned to use the R-2A to launch humans on vertical hops into space.
