The Soyuz 11 mission was significant in the history of space exploration as it marked the first crewed docking to a space station, the Salyut 1, which was launched by the Soviet Union. Georgy Dobrovolsky, Vladislav Volkov, and Viktor Patsayev made history as they spent a total of 23 days in space, conducting various experiments and gathering valuable data on long-duration spaceflight. Their record-setting stay contributed to understanding how the human body could cope with extended periods in microgravity. It was a period of intense competition during the Cold War, with both the United States and the Soviet Union striving to showcase their respective advancements in space exploration. Tragically, upon re-entry on June 29, the Soyuz 11 spacecraft experienced a cabin depressurization during the descent phase of the mission. This event occurred approximately 10 minutes before the scheduled landing. While the spacecraft itself was functioning and the crew had successfully managed their flight operations, the sudden loss of cabin pressure led to the cosmonauts’ deaths due to asphyxiation. The onboard systems had failed to provide the necessary life support, and while the crew had survived the harsh conditions of space, the return to Earth ended in disaster due to an unforeseen equipment malfunction. This incident prompted significant changes in safety protocols and spacecraft design for future missions. The Soviet space program had to reassess its approach to crew safety, leading to new protocols being established for monitoring cabin pressure and ensuring that such an occurrence would never happen again in future spaceflights.
