Laika, first space dog, 1960s — Soviet vintage space poster

One of our most iconic pieces — Laika, first space dog, 1960s — Soviet vintage space poster — pays homage to the legendary canine cosmonaut who paved the way for human spaceflight. Featuring bold typography and classic Soviet design, this artwork captures a key moment in space history. It's a perfect addition to any retro-themed room or space enthusiast’s collection. Celebrate the legacy of Laika with this powerful and visually striking tribute.

Laika was the first living creature to orbit the Earth, launched aboard Sputnik 2 by the Soviet Union in 1957. As a stray dog from the streets of Moscow, she became an unexpected pioneer of space exploration. Though her mission was one-way, Laika’s sacrifice paved the way for future human spaceflight. Her story remains a powerful symbol of courage, scientific progress, and the complex ethics of exploration.

Arts Created in November 2019.

Our Laika, Soviet space posters collection on Etsy contains ~30 products: art, posters, t-shirts, phone cases, coffee mugs. The collection on eBay is a little smaller.

Great metallic prints can be found at Displate. So this collection is available on Teepublic, and Society6.
