Space suit for a dog
On display in the National Space Centre, Leicester.
Technically it's not a space suit but a canine high altitude partial pressure suit. It was used in testing conducted for the Soviet space programme in 1959. Specifically the test involved sending a dog in the nose cone of a rocket up to an altitude of 70km, at which point the dog would be ejected and return to Earth by parachute.
