This test flight of the Vostok spacecraft carried two dogs, Pchelka and Mushka (diminutive "bee" and "fly", respectively), as well as a television system and other scientific instruments. The flight lasted for one day. The reentry did not happen on the 17th orbit as planned. The descent module was descending on its 18th orbit when it was destroyed by a destruct charge. The test Vostok spacecraft carried explosive charges to prevent them from falling into foreign hands. The destruction of the spacecraft precluded successful recovery and killed the two animals.

Sputnik 2 erregte mit einer Startmasse über 500 kg ungläubiges Staunen der westliche Fachleute.
Sputnik 3 trug mehrere wissenschaftliche Messinstrumente in den Weltraum, welche den Strahlungsgürtel der Erde untersuchen sollten - was aber ebenfalls fehlschlug.
Sputnik6 befand sich in einer Bahnhöhe zwischen 187,3 und 265 Kilometern und hatte eine Umlaufzeit von 88,6 Minuten.
Sputnik (satellite) was the abbreviated Western name for these spacecraft, known in Russia generically as Iskusstvenniy Sputnik Zemli (Artificial Earth Satellite).
The spacecraft known in the West as Sputnik 4, 5, 6, 9, and 10 were announced at the time in Russia as Korabl-Sputnik 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
The last in the series, though prior to a decision to be more cautious in the launch schedule it may have been intended as the first.
