On August 19, we commemorated the 64th anniversary of a significant event for all space pioneers – the launch into space of humanity's closest companions, the cosmonautic dogs Belka and Streka.
During the 25-hour flight, various space flight factors were studied in relation to their effects on the animal body, including overload, prolonged weightlessness, exposure to cosmic radiation, and testing systems designed to ensure human safety during flight and upon return to Earth.
The world has made significant progress in improving methods of space exploration.

The world has made significant progress in improving methods of space exploration.
The Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Pfysics, Lomonosov Moscow State university, has always been at the forefront of scientific progress. Over the years, its staff has been involved in numerous significant scientific projects and the launch of spacecraft, such as the "Universitetskiy-Tatiana" and "Mikhailo-Lomonosov". These spacecraft have been designed, built, and launched to carry out a variety of space exploration missions, ranging from monitoring radiation in outer space to studying solar activity.
During this time, the types of devices being developed have also evolved. Researchers at SINP MSU have mastered the art of creating Cubsats, which are small spacecraft designed for a variety of space exploration missions. These spacecraft can measure only 20 to 30 centimeters in size.
The development of cube satellites has been made possible by the advancement of microminiaturization techniques and the application of general-purpose microelectronics in the design of space-based satellites.
The collection of satellites operated by the Institute of CubSat spacecraft currently includes several dozen satellites, including Monitor 4, Monitor 3, Monitor 2, Monitor 1, Sirius-SINP-3U, Altair, and Arctic-Sat-1, among others.
All of this activity is conducted at the SINP MSU, and it is worth noting the role of the personnel from the Radiation Monitoring Lab, who are leading the way in space exploration efforts under the constant supervision of Vladislav Osedlo, the head of the Laboratory for Radiation Monitoring.
A brief overview of Arctic-Cat-1.
Arctic-Cat-1 is a spacecraft designed to study the impact of space weather on the systems of small spacecraft operating in the polar regions. In addition to this primary function, it also has another significant role that sets it apart from other spacecraft.
As it was mentioned earlier "ArcticSat: The DeCoR-2 Device and an Octopus aboard", the spacecraft will feature a sculpture of Octopus - Octo-Pax, a character from the Octonauts project created by the Russian artist Nastya Miro. This is intended to raise awareness of the issue of space pollution.
The flight of Belka and Strelka contributed to our understanding of how space affects living organisms. Sixty-four years later, we have faced another challenge – to study the impact of our activities in space over the years of exploration and research.
Best wishes for success in the important work of space exploration and protection!
