Where Are Laika and Her Capsule Now

Where Are Laika and Her Capsule Now On the third of November 1957, a stray from the streets of Moscow became the first living creature to orbit the Earth, in a ship never built to come back, and yet it did. Two brothers in Turin said they heard her heart, and a CIA memo still asked whether there had been a dog on board at all. So where did Laika and her capsule end up?
