Note:
The drawing shows the Soviet satellite "Sputnik-2" in a typical Soviet propaganda design. There are three elements indicating to that: a) a paper clip as repulsion ray below the rocket (a sign of the artist for a propaganda drawing...?), b) a fin in the upper area of the rocket, and c) a set of radial antennas. At least the last two elements were no characteristics of the real "Sputnik-2".
