Published the last words of the crew of the Soyuz-11 spacecraft of Vladislav Volkova, who had deceased half a century ago, on June 30, 1971 upon returning from the orbital station “Salute” to Earth. This is stated in declassified documents on the site “Roskosmos”.
Latest that heard astronauts from the ground, there was a joking wish of Volkov.
In addition, it follows from the decryption of negotiations that wolves (call sign “Yantar-2”), as well as the Dobrovolsky George (“Yantar-1”) and Victor Patsayev (“Yantar-3”) and Viktor Patsayev (“Yantar-3”) closed the hatches, reported The situation and checked the time. At the same time, the measuring point “Zarya” reported the physical state of the crew members.
What else to say astronauts
As follows from the decryption, at 21.15 June 29, 1971, the Flight Management Center gave the crew to the crew to close the transition hatch with the station, and then to the domain. “Separation passed, a division was passed … visually observe the discrepancy. The station went to the left of us, with a turn,” the wolves noted. “Zarya” at the same time passed that the landing will occur 10 minutes before sunrise. Also, the wolves reported that the rain hangs on the right “:” It flies great, beautiful! ” Then he was asked about the orientation of the ship regarding the Earth.
In response, the PCP called for no hurry, then the boys said that the horizon was already visible along the lower cut of the porthole. Later, the “Descent” signal caught fire, and “Zarya” confirmed that everything is correct, and said goodbye to the crew until the next communication session.
How it happened
It was planned that Soyuz-11 would land on June 30 at 02:18 approximately in a hundred kilometers east of the city of Jazkazgan in Kazakhstan. At the time of separating the descent apparatus from instrument and orbital compartments at an altitude of about 150 kilometers, radio communication with astronauts was interrupted. At an altitude of about 100 kilometers there was a depressurization of the spacecraft, astronauts tried to eliminate breakdown, but lost consciousness. Pressure inside the spacecraft fell, and astronauts died. The device with astronauts entered the dense layers of the atmosphere, the parachute system worked and the soft landing engines were turned on. However, the search group arrived at almost immediately to the landing site found the astronauts lying in the chairs without signs of life.
