According to http://www.space.com/news/laika_anniversary_991103.html

After a successful launch, Sputnik 2 exhausted its electrical batteries
after six days in orbit. With all systems dead, the spacecraft continued
circling the Earth until April 14, 1958, when it reentered the atmosphere
after 2,570 orbits.
