LAIKA

This section of the Contest is intended to be a tribute to Laika.

This smart little dog whose real name was “peanut” was launched into space on board SPUTNIK 2 on November 3, 1957.

Laika survived for 5 hours and then died of asphyxation because of a technical failure.

In any case a capsule re-entry was not planned. After months of physical tortures of preparation Laika was launched into space to die in fear and in loneliness.

The project MOON declares to be against using human and animal beings for scientic purposes.

This section is a loving memorial for Laika. The graphic designers who want to take part in the contest “The hidden colors of the moon” can participate in both sections “The colors of the moon” and “Laika”.

We’re looking forward to see your beautiful works.
