Malashenkov and Laika

I know I asked this on this forum once before, but some time, it seems, has
passed without corroboration on when Laika died. About every source you see
these days quotes the 2002 information on Laika's death from Dimitri C.
Malashenkov from the Institute for Biological problems. In the copy of his
paper I've seen, though, there is nothing on this fellow's background or his
sources of information. Do we know if he was part of the project, or if he has
reliable sources on this? I've never seen an actual document.

Doing a Google Search of his name in Cyrillic letters found these
articles. I translated parts of them in Bablefish.

He is sometimes refered to as a "spokesman", "press-attache",
"scientific worker", "colleague of the press- service", "senior
scientific worker".


A picture of someone by the name "Dmitriy Malashenkov" is on
this webpage. He's on the right.

He's also quoted concering the aborted Lance Bass Soyuz spaceflight.

Yes, I did the searches. I'm not questioning the man's expertise. I'm just
asking if anyone knows what his source for the Laika information is.

D Malshenkov presented a paper at the World Space Congress in Houston in
October 2002 that contained numerous details about Laika's Sputnik 2
flight.

According to Malshenkov, the estimate of 5-7 hours that elapsed before
Laika expired was "based on simulations." Since Laika died from thermal
stress, it is a simple task to simulate how long it took for the
temperature in the capsule to become too high for the animal to survive.
It might be interesting to see what parameters were employed in the
simulation, and the differences between Malshenkov's accurate simulation
based on current knowlege vs what the designers guessed at.. This was
after all one of the earliest flights into space. kb.

A space history paper "surfaces" in Houston!At the World Space Congress
in Houston in October 2002 a very interesting paper (1) about Sputnik-2
appeared written by by Dimitri C. Malashenkov from the Institute for
Biological problems in Moscow. The following details were given about the
design of the spacecraft:
a.. The life-support system and the food was designed for a 7-day
flight
b.. The food and water for the dog was in jelly form
c.. There was a CO2 absorbing device as well as an O2 generator and
device to avoid oxygen poisoning.
d.. A fan was set to be activated above 15oC to keep the dog cool.
e.. Metal "chains" keep the dog from moving except for standing,
sitting or lie down. It could not turn around in the cabin.
f.. There was also a "sewage" device of a character not further
elaborated on.
g.. The following parameters were telemetered:
a.. Respiration rate
b.. Maximum arterial pressure
c.. Electrocardiogram
d.. "Actogram" showing movements of the dog

"The nose cone was jettisoned after reaching orbit as planned but Object
PS-2 failed to cut itself loose from the spent Blok A core of its 8K71PS
launch vehicle. As a result, the thermal regulation system could not
operate properly. Because of this and some thermal insulation that was
ripped away from the payload (presumably when the nosecone separated),
the temperatures inside the cabin quickly soared to as high as 40 C (104
F). The dog's vital signs indicated that she was frightened but had
survived the trip to orbit."

We still have the same situation: the source material on this begins and ends
with Maleshenkov. He may be 100% reliable, but he never says what his sources
are concerning the telemetry from Sputnik 2, or if he was involved in that
program himself. Puzzling.

It's just a Commie coverup. Laika really died when Sergi Korolev
forgot about her and left the dog in his hot car with the windows
rolled up.

D. K. Malashenkov has presented papers at two scientific conferences
that were also attended by Oleg G. Gazenko (who was on the Sputnik 2
design team). That's one slight connection, for what it's worth.

It wasn't known as "The Evil Empire" for nothing...

There's also an ATL in which Laika died on an operating table
and Korolev remains in hiding to this day...

....Wrong. They simply used her for that year's swapout for Lenin's
corpse.
