3 November 1957 to orbit the Earth launched Sputnik-2. This was the second launch the vehicle into space. And for the first time in a space ship was a living creature – the dog Laika. Alas, the Huskies return to Earth was not considered in the design of the spacecraft. However, fate decreed otherwise and the dog died during the flight after 5-7 hours after launch from overheating. Initially it was assumed that she will live in orbit for about a week, but she managed to take inside the machine only 4 turns around the earth. The satellite did 2,370 orbits and burned up in the atmosphere April 14, 1958. The experiment confirmed that the living entity can survive the launch into orbit and weightlessness. And the first animals that came back from space flight, were the dogs Belka and Strelka.

On 3 November 1906 the uniform distress signal for radio communication at sea becomes SOS. This decision was adopted at the International Radiotelegraph Convention in Berlin. The signal is a sequence of “three dots – three dashes – three dots” transmitted without any tracking interval. Previously used the CQD signal, but it is often confused with General distress call CQ could go on and with the earth. From February 1, 1999 by the decision of the International Maritime organization signal SOS replaced avtomatizirovannaya system distress GMDSS, but SOS can still be used to indicate distress. In voice communication SOS signal is not applied, the signal here is Mayday.
