U.S.S.R. would probably launch several spacecraft, possibly containing dogs, on circumlunar missions and return them to earth be­fore launching manned lunar spacecraft, Cosmonaut Valery Bykovsky said in Hungarian Army newspaper interview. Quoted in Nephadsreg, he said that first Soviet passengers around moon might be offspring of space dog Laika. Manned spacecraft would not be launched until neces­sary experience had been gained.
