The names of fallen astronauts and cosmonauts, including Soyuz 11 cosmonauts Georgi T. Dobrovolski, Vladislav N. Volkov, and Viktor I. Patsayev, are inscribed on a plaque left on the Moon by Apollo 15 astronauts David R. Scott and James B. Irwin in 1971.(...) The cosmonauts treated Soviet citizens to near-daily television broadcasts of their activities aboard Salyut, describing both their scientific experiments as well as daily life aboard the space station. Soviet journalists dubbed the events Cosmovision. They cast ballots from Salyut in Soviet elections, becoming the first people to vote from space. On June 16, in an incident not publicized at the time, the crew responded to a small smoldering electrical fire at the rearof the station. Although the crew managed to control the fire, the smoke it generated caused some temporary concern that the mission might have to be curtailed. The station’s air revitalization system cleared the atmosphere of any potentially harmful agents and the mission continued. On June 19, Patsayev turned 38 years old, the first person to celebrate a birthday in space. Dobrovolski and Volkov presented him with an onion and a lemon that Volkov had smuggled aboard their Soyuz 11 spacecraft. Five days later they broke the previous 18-day human spaceflight endurance record set by the Soyuz 9 crew in June 1970. Soyuz 9 cosmonaut Andriyan G. Nikolayev, serving as spacecraft communicator, congratulated them on their accomplishment. Over the next few days, Dobrovolski, Volkov, and Patsayev began preparations for their return to Earth, including preparing Salyut for a period of automated operations. (...)
