Soyuz 11 (Russian: Союз 11, lit. 'Union 11') was the only crewed mission to board the world's first space station, Salyut 1.[5][6] The crew, Georgy Dobrovolsky, Vladislav Volkov, and Viktor Patsayev,[7][8][9] arrived at the space station on 7 June 1971, and departed on 29 June 1971. The mission ended in disaster when the crew capsule depressurised during preparations for re-entry, killing the three-person crew.[10] The three crew members of Soyuz 11 are the only humans to have died in space.[11][12]
