That seems to be the standard phrase outside of ditionaries.

Also, just "Ready for launch" would convey as much info as "Everything is ready for launch" and (to me) seems more suitable for a photo caption.

Good luck Dec 1, 2004

Those dogs deserve our memory and recognition - this is how the dog was sent to its glory for humans' sake, and it was a one-way ticket. I know for a fact that strong grown men could not hold tears saying goodbye to the pup...

To Alex: Ready for Launch is a phrase more appropriate when the payload with the dog is on the launcher and the whole thing is ready to fly in a few minutes. I would stick with what we actually have on the photo, let's not confuse the asker, this is not the f

I would stick with what we actually have on the photo, let's not confuse the asker, this is not the file to be turned to the customer. Now the asker knows what he (I'm sorry, maybe she) needs to know, that's all that matters.

собака-космонавт (не астронавт) Dec 1, 2004

I believe it was a "cosmonaut dog" (not astronaut dog) and, actually, a Soviet (not Russian)dog.

Laika! The dog's name is Laika! Dec 1, 2004

And the dog's name is Laika.

... I see I'm wrong. This is not Laika. This is another dog. I have found more links with photos and articles on the topic:

Nikolai for the Web link. You have raised an interesting topic, since I am very interested in knowing the name of the dog shown on the photo. But it is not Laika (the dog sent to space on Sputnik II); she died from overheating and panic just a few hours after the mission started (on November 1957).

Originally, the West was told that Laika had survived for several days before her life support system was exhausted and that she had then been deliberately "put to sleep"; the truth of what actually happened was not revealed until some 45 years afterwards, at the 2002 World Space Conference in Houston (USA).

Here they are: Dec 1, 2004

The fact that the photo dates 1959 with words "ready..." and no launch that year does not mean anything - it could have been one of the dogs 'in training' and another Soviet "victory report" for newspapers.

I will try to find out the exact name but can't promise...

Other Space Dogs
Between 1957 and 1966, the USSR (now Russia) sent 13 dogs into space in preparation for future missions. The dogs included:

Laika (meaning "Barker") - died during a mission (Sputnik 2, November 1957)
Lisichka (meaning "Little Fox") and Bars (meaning "Panther" or "Lynx") - died during a test flight on July 28, 1960
Strelka (meaning "Little Arrow") , Belka (meaning "Squirrel"), 40 mice, 2 rats and a number of plants - safely recovered from Korabl'-Sputnik-2. Launched August 19, 1960, it orbited the Earth 18 times. This was the first successful recovery of living biological specimens after an orbital mission. Strelka later gave birth to a litter of 6 healthy puppies; one was given to President John F. Kennedy as a gift.
A stamp from Bulgaria featuring Strelka, Chernushka, Zvezdochka, and Belka.
Pchelka (meaning "Little Bee") and Mushka (meaning "Little Fly")- died when Korabl'-Sputnik-3 re-entered the Earth's atmosphere at the wrong angle and burned up, (launched December 1, 1960)
Damka (meaning "Little Lady") and Krasavka (meaning "Beauty") - Launched December 22, 1960, but the third stage of the SL-3 rocket failed, and the orbital launch was aborted; the two dogs survived an unplanned suborbital flight.
Chernushka (meaning "Blackie"), a dummy cosmonaut (known as "Ivan Ivanovich"), a few mice and a guinea pig - launched March 9, 1961.
Zvezdochka (meaning "Little Star") and a dummy cosmonaut in a space suit - launched on March 25, 1961 and orbited once in final preparation for the Vostok 1 mission. Zvezdochka was named by cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin.
Verterok or Veterok (meaning "Breeze") and Ugolyok or Ugolek (meaning "Little Piece of Coal") were launched on February 22, 1966, in the satellite Kosmos 110. This was a 22-day mission.

Compared to the picture here, she looks very much like Strelka...

Kozyavka ( Little Gnat ) ... Dec 3, 2004

...that is the name of the lovely dog on the photo.
She is one of the most travelled of the space dogs, with four flights to her credit.
I owe all this information to Chris Dubbs, author of the book
