Salyut 1 space station. Artwork of the Soyuz 11 spacecraft (upper left) docking with the Salyut 1 space station (right) in Earth orbit on 7 June 1971. Salyut 1, built by the Soviet Union, was the worlds first space station and was launched on 19 April 1971. The USSR and the Kamchatka Peninsula are seen in the background. The Moon is at upper left. The Soyuz crew spent 23 days on the space station, but died during re-entry due to a leak that led to depressurisation of their spacecraft. Salyut 1 was deorbited on 11 October 1971, breaking up in the Earths atmosphere

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in space exploration history. The artwork depicts the groundbreaking Salyut 1 space station, the world's first of its kind, orbiting Earth on 7 June 1971. In this illustration, we witness the Soyuz 11 spacecraft gracefully docking with the colossal space station on its upper right side. The Soviet Union proudly built and launched Salyut 1 on 19 April 1971, marking a significant milestone in mankind's quest for knowledge beyond our planet. As we gaze at this image, we are reminded of both the awe-inspiring advancements in technology and the tragic fate that befell those who ventured into space during this era. The Moon looms above as a silent observer to humanity's endeavors among the stars. The Kamchatka Peninsula provides an earthly backdrop to this extraordinary scene unfolding thousands of kilometers above us. Regrettably, despite spending an impressive 23 days aboard Salyut 1, tragedy struck when the crew of Soyuz 11 perished during re-entry due to a leak that caused their spacecraft to depressurize. This somber reminder serves as a testament to both the risks and sacrifices made by these brave pioneers in pursuit of scientific progress. Salyut-1 was ultimately deorbited on October 11th later that year and disintegrated upon reentry into Earth's atmosphere. Nevertheless, its legacy lives on as an emblematic symbol of human ingenuity and determination within our vast solar system.
