Georgi Timofeyevich Dobrovolski (born June 1, 1928 in Odessa, died June 30, 1971) was a Sovietcosmonaut who flew on the Soyuz 11 mission and had the unfortunate distinction of being part of the second crew to die during a space flight.
After a normal re-entry, the capsule was opened and the crew was found dead.
It was discovered that a valve had opened just prior to leaving orbit that had allowed the capsule's atmosphere to vent away into space, suffocating the crew.
Soyuz 11 succeeded in completing the mission that Soyuz 10 had failed at - carrying cosmonauts to live on the world's first space station, Salyut 1.
CosmonautsGeorgiDobrovolski, Viktor Patsayev, and Vladislav Volkov spent three weeks testing the Salyut's systems and conducting biomedical and other scientific work.
They faced a number of difficulties on the station, including a fire, and the discovery that one of the station's main scientific instruments - a telescope - had been rendered inoperative by a protective cover that had failed to detach after launch.

Georgi Timofejevich Dobrovolski (in russo Георгий Тимофеевич Добровольский; * 1 giugno 1928 ad Odessa, RSS di Ucraina † 29 giugno 1971 vicino a Karaghanda RSS di Kazakistan) era un cosmonauta sovietico.
Dobrovolski si decise per la cariera militare nel suo paese diventando pilota dell'aeronautica militare dell'Armata Rossa con il grado di Tenente colonnello.
Durante l'atterraggio della missione vi fu un malfunzionamento di una valvola di scarcio della navicella spaziale che causò la morte di Dobrovolski e dei suoi due compagni di missione a causa di soffocamento.

"Sojuz-11" skafandriteta ekipaaš (GeorgiDobrovolski, Vladislav Volkov, Viktor Patsajev) hukkus, kuna laskumismooduli (kabiini) eraldumisel põhimoodulist ei sulgunud automaatselt üks hermeetilisust tagav klapp.
Dobrovolski oli jõudnud oma ohutusrihmad vabastada, kuid ei suutnud siiski kraani sulgeda.
In an effort to recover Colonel Komarov released the drone chute that then became entangled in the main chute further preventing its deployment.
After the first crew was relieved for medical reasons the backup crew was elevated to flight status and on June 6, 1971, CosmonautsGeorgiDobrovolski, Vladislav Volkov and Viktor Patsayev, spent 24 days in space around the Salyut I Space Station.
On June 29, 1971, a series of mishaps caused the crews oxygen to vent into space and the cabin temperature to drop below zero during re-entry.
Dobrovolsky acted as communications officer for manned Soyuz flights between 1967-69, and trained for the abortive Soviet moon landing program.
He transferred to the Salyut space station program in 1970 and, with Viktor Patsayev and Vladislav Volkov, spent 23 days aboard the Salyut 1 station in 1971.

Soyuz 3 carried cosmonautGeorgi Beregovoi in orbit around Earth for four days.
In June 1971cosmonautsGeorgiDobrovolski, Vladislav Volkov, and Viktor Patsayev occupied Salyut for 23 days, setting a new record for the longest human spaceflight.
Tragically, the three men died when their Soyuz ferry craft developed a leak before they reentered the atmosphere.
