	Soyuz programme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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 survived the demise of the manned lunar programme in that it developed into a variety of projects (both military and civilian), mostly in conjunction with space stations.
		Soyuz 1 through 11 (1967-1971) were first-generation vehicles, carrying a crew of up to three without spacesuits and distinguished from those following by their bent solar panels and their use of the Igla automatic docking navigation system, which required special radar antennas.

	Soyuz 11 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Soyuz 11 was the second attempted and the first successful visit to the world's first space station, Salyut 1.
		(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.

	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.

	Salyut 1
		Its first crew launched in Soyuz 10 but was unable to board it due to a failure in the docking mechanism; its second crew launched in Soyuz 11 and remained on board for 23 productive days.
		Soyuz 11 required 3 hr 19 min on June 7 to complete docking.
		On October 11, the Salyut engines were fired, for the last time, to lower its orbit and ensure prompt decay over the Pacific Ocean.

	[23.0] The Last Men On The Moon
		A Soyuz booster was launched on 24 November 1970 to put a modified LK Moon lander, lacking legs and instrumentation and with the designation of "T2K", into orbit to perform various maneuvers.
		"Soyuz 6" was launched on 11 October 1969, with a two-man crew consisting of Georgi Shonin and Valerii Kubasov.
		As was revealed after the fall of the USSR, Soyuz 6 was supposed to have photographed the docking between Soyuz 7 and Soyuz 8, but the rendezvous electronics on all three spacecraft failed, apparently because a new preflight test procedure disabled all three in exactly the same way.

	The Soyuz-11 disaster
		In (3) we learn that the crew noticed a leak immediately, probably from the hissing noise it generated, rushed to the front hatch thinking that this earlier problem was related to the sound.
		We know that in the Soyuz TM descent vehicle there is a data recorder called "Mir-3A-1" capable of recording up to 64 analog channels at a sampling rate of 31.25 Hz and 128 on-off channels.
		On the present Soyuz TM design the antenna for this link is a slot antenna located in the lid of the crew ingress/egress hatch at the top of the capsule.

		Lieutenant-Colonel Georgi Dobrovolsky, Vladislav Volkov and Viktor Patsayev were found dead in their seats on the Soyuz 11 but did not appear to have suffered any physical injuries.
		In 1967 Vladimir Komarov became the first man to die in space when the parachute on his Soyuz 1 developed trouble on landing and, after several other troubled missions, the flight by Soyuz 10 was abandoned before any of the crew boarded the space station due to technical difficulties.
		The inquiry concluded the three cosmonauts on the Soyuz 11 were killed by a fatal rise in their blood pressure caused when the cabin became depressurised.
