The Soviet space ship with the dogs Belka ( Squirrel) and Strelka ( Arrow) on board made a daily flight with the return to Earth
August 19, 1960
Doctors removed the cosmonauts' dogs from the cockpit of the head of the geophysical rocket at the landing site.
Dog-cosmonauts Belka and Strelka are the first animals to perform an orbital space flight on the ''Sputnik-5'' spacecraft and returned to Earth unscathed.
On August 19, 1960, a Soviet rocket launched into orbit the 'Sputnik-5'', carrying Belka and Strelka on board. The purpose of the experiment was to study the effect of cosmic radiation on living organisms, as well as to test the effectiveness of various life support systems - nutrition, water supply, sewage, waste reclamation.
Before sending Belka and Strelka into space, scientists had to solve several serious problems. In the cockpit of the spacecraft for a long time it was not possible to achieve an acceptable temperature - the dogs could hardly tolerate the heat. In addition, they needed to be accustomed to a tight enclosed space. In addition to the dogs, there were two white rats and several mice on board.
The first animal, put into orbit of the Earth, was the dog Laika ( Husky) in November 1957. However, the animal died a few hours after the start from overheating in the spacecraft.
After this flight, Sergei Pavlovich Korolev was tasked with preparing dogs for a daily orbital flight with the possibility of returning back to the descent vehicle. For the experiment, 12 dogs were selected.
As a result of training, the dogs Chaika ( Gull) and Lisichka ( Fox) flew into space first, but they died in a ship crash after the unsuccessful launch on July 28, 1960. The Belka and Strelka were their backups, so after the crash with the main crew of the experiment, it was decided to launch the Belka and Strelka into space.
The launch took place from Baikonur cosmodrome on August 19, 1960 at 11.44 (Moscow time), the flight lasted more than 25 hours, during which time the ship made 17 full turns around the Earth. The next day the descent vehicle with animals aboard landed safely in the specified area.
Returned from the orbit, the dogs became the object of increased attention and a day later they took part in the press conference organized in the building of TASS. Belka and Strelka felt great.
The Strelka left behind a large number of offspring. And one of her puppies - Pushok ( Fluffy) - was presented to the wife of American President Jacqueline Kennedy. The cosmonauts themselves remained at the State Research and Test Institute of Aviation and Space Medicine and died in deep old age.
Currently, their stuffed animals are in the Memorial Museum of Astronautics in Moscow. It must be said that this experiment of the daily orbital flight of Belka and Strelka has become a significant contribution to the study and mastery of outer space. And the volume of conducted research and the nature of the problems solved in this way allowed to draw conclusions about the possibility of a person to make an orbital flight around the Earth.
Apple Savior came to us from pagan Russia. This is an apple harvest festival. All the rites of this holiday and two other other Saviors, were dedicated to the Gods of Savior, which have pagan roots. In ancient times there were many such holidays, they were dedicated to the harvest of each fruit and were always keep holy before eating. There were, for example, such Saviors, like bread, berry, mushroom and others.
Before the Second Savior, eating apples was forbidden, and the first fruits collected on that day were sanctified in the church and only then were eaten. Sometimes, eating the last piece of the Savior apple, they made a wish and believed that it would be fulfilled. In the southern regions, along with apples, the first grapes were sanctified and tasted.
On this day, bidding was held, which exposed the whole carts with apples. In addition, people who had gardens, considered it their duty on this day to feed the sick and the poor. Those who violated this custom were considered dishonorable by people.
Apple Savior is also called the "first fall", that is, the meeting of autumn. It is believed that the first chills come with the Apple Savior. That is why in the old days there was a custom - to walk in the field, accompany the sunset of the first autumn sun with songs.
Today it is necessary to honor one of the most courageous professions in the world. It is no joke - to voluntarily go to the bee cloud to get one of the most correct edible substances in the world.
Beekeeper's professional holiday has been celebrated since 1997.
As a rule, such holidays are lively. Beekeepers offer to try and buy their products - honey collected by their own bees. During the festive fair folk folk music groups perform, and the event is crowned by the awarding of the owners of the most delicious honey, which is chosen by the visitors of events.
August 19 is World Humanitarian Day. It is intended to remind people living in need and the necessary to ensure that they receive the help they deserve.
In addition, on this day, the world community remembers people who have lost their lives, saving others, to pay tribute to them. One of them is the United Nations staff member Sergio Vieira de Mello, who was killed in a hotel bombing in Baghdad.

All photographers (both amateurs and professionals) and connoisseurs of this art annually celebrate World Photography Day on August 19th. It was established in 2009 on the initiative of an Australian photographer named Korske Ara.
