Although Soyuz 10 brought its crew of cosmonauts Vladimir Shatalov, Aleksei Yeliseyev, and Nikolai Rukavishnikov to the station, they could not dock successfully with it.
The Soyuz human spaceflight programme was initiated in the early 1960s as part of the manned lunar programme that was intended to put a Soviet cosmonaut on the Moon.
Soyuz 10 was the first planned visit to the world's first space station, Salyut 1, which had been successfully placed in orbit on April 19 1971.

 Soyuz
The manned Soyuz spacecraft was originally conceived by Sergei Korolev in 1961 as a component of the “Soyuz complex” that also included unmanned booster modules and orbiting fuel tankers and was geared toward a manned mission to the Moon (see Russian manned lunar programs).
Three-man missions involving a Soyuz modified by the removal of large fuel tank at the rear of the instrument module (not needed with the abandonment of the Moon plan) and the addition of a new docking system with a hatch to allow cosmonauts to transfer to a space station without a spacewalk.
Soyuz 11 docked with the station normally but its crew was killed during reentry when a valve opened suddenly and allowed all the air in the descent module to escape.

 NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Soyuz 8
Soyuz 8 was part of a joint mission with Soyuz 6 and Soyuz 7 that saw three Soyuz spacecraft in orbit together at the same time, carrying seven cosmonauts.
The crew consisted of commander Vladimir Shatalov and flight-engineer Aleksei Yeliseyev, whose mission was to dock with Soyuz 7 and transfer crew, as the Soyuz 4 and 5 missions did.
The Soyuz 5 was a Soyuz spacecraft launched by the Soviet Union on January 15, 1969 that docked with Soyuz 4 in orbit.

On June 30, 1971, after a normal re-entry of the capsule of the Soyuz 11 mission, the recovery team opened the capsule to find the crew dead.
It quickly became apparent that they had asphyxiated and the fault was traced to a valve that had been jolted open as the descent module separated from the service module.
The Soyuz spacecraft was extensively re-designed after this incident to carry only two cosmonauts.

(Soyuz 10 was unable to dock.) The Soyuz spacecraft was launched on June 6, 1971, from Baikonur Cosmodrome in central Kazakh SSR with cosmonauts Vladislav Volkov, Georgi Dobrovolski and Viktor Patsayev aboard.
The prime crew for Soyuz 11 consisted of Valeri Kubasov, Alexei Leonov and Pyotr Kolodin.

Six minutes before docking, with the Soyuz within 656 feet (200 meters) of the ISS and under autonomous control, the spacecraft’s speed shot up considerably, exceeding the normal flight velocities for docking maneuvers and setting off alarms, Russian flight controllers said during a post-docking news conference.
Expedition 9 and Shargin are currently scheduled to undock from the ISS in their Soyuz TMA-4 spacecraft and land on the steppes of Kazakhstan on Oct.

Soyuz 9 paved the way for the Salyut space station missions, investigating the effects of long-term weightlessness on crew, and evaluating the work that the cosmonautss could do in orbit, individually and as a team.
In orbit, they had sacrificed some of their exercise time for the sake of carrying out their scientific work, and their bodies' reactions to the prolonged weightlessness emphasised the importance of maintaining regular exercise.
