Barbed wire enters from the left across Tyuratam’s floodlit 1957 launchpad beneath a gradually paling blue-grey sky. From a 45-degree elevated oblique view, gantries frame the R-7 and Sputnik 2’s conical cabin on platform. Four adults occupy the gantry: three technicians in quilted telogreiki and ushankas secure fittings; a white-coated biologist steadies small black-and-white Laika inside the open capsule, her upright ears, dark back, white muzzle and chest, and anxious face. Sleet lashes trusses; a service train smokes beyond scaffolding.
