The Soviet Union (USSR) launched the first space station "Salyut 1" on April 19, 1971. (It was only manned for 23 days in June, 1971, and the Soyuz 11 crew were killed on reentry of their capsule.) The orbit of Salyut decayed and it was deliberately splashed into the Pacific Ocean on October 11, 1971.
