Georgiy Timofeyevich Dobrovolsky (Russian: June 1, 1928, Odessa, Ukrainian SSR - June 30, 1971) was a Soviet cosmonaut.
He flew on the Soyuz 11 mission and had the unfortunate distinction of being part of the second Soviet crew to die during a space flight.
After a normal re-entry, the capsule was opened and the crew was found dead. It was discovered that a valve had opened just prior to leaving orbit that had allowed the capsule's atmosphere to vent away into space, suffocating the crew.
Dobrovolsky's ashes were placed in an urn in the Kremlin Wall Necropolis on the Red Square in Moscow.
Viktor Ivanovich Patsayev
One of Patsayev's hands was found to be bruised, and he may have been trying to shut the valve manually at the time he lost consciousness. He was part of the Soyuz 11 mission along with 2 dogs
