The Soviet Union may have lost several astronauts in flight in the 1960's and early '70's. However, the Soviet Union was also very secretive about their space program; they never made any announcements until after the flight had landed. And even then, they would sometimes lie about details.

The first American astronauts to die during a space mission were the crew of the Challenger space shuttle.
