This work is copyrighted and unlicensed. It does not fall into one of the blanket acceptable non-free content categories listed at Wikipedia:Non-free content#Images or Wikipedia:Non-free content#Audio clips. However, it is believed that the use of this work in the article "Laika" :

To illustrate the subject in question
Where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information
On the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation ([1]),

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Copyrights.

To the uploader: this tag is not a sufficient claim of fair use. You must also include the source of the work, all available copyright information, and a detailed non-free use rationale.

[edit] Rationale for fair use in Laika

It is believed that the use of the image Laika.jpg in the article Laika qualifies as fair use because:

No free alternative exists or could be created.
It is use purely to illustrate the subject discussed.
It is of a promotional nature.
Its copyright status is unknown - it may be public domain.
It is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality).
It does not limit the rights of the copyright owner (if one exists) to market or sell the work in any way.
This image is used on various websites without accreditation, so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is.
The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the original work.
The image should be allowed to be used in the education of students when discussing the Space Race.

If it is copyrighted it is likely to be by the Soviet (now Russian) Space Program via TASS.

The Wikimedia Commons has another file with the same name as this file. To include the Commons media file in Wikipedia, this locally stored file needs to be renamed.
