Scenarios about 'Georgy Dobrovolsky'
Soviet cosmonaut who commanded the Soyuz 11 mission and became part of the first crew to occupy the Salyut 1 space station in 1971. Dobrovolsky and his crewmates tragically perished during re-entry due to a pressure valve failure, making them the only humans to have died in space rather than within Earth's atmosphere. His mission represented a significant milestone in early space station development and continues to be an important reference point in alternate history scenarios involving Soviet space program trajectories.
