The Soyuz 10 was the world's first mission to the world's first space station, the Soviet Salyut 1 (launched on April 19). It was the first upgraded spacecraft with new docking mechanism, which allowed space station visits and internal crew transfer. The Soyuz 10 was launched to dock with Salyut 1 on April 22, 1971. Unfortunately, during docking the crew (Vladimir Shatalov, Aleksei Yeliseyev and Nikolai Rukavishnikov) faced with problems. The spacecraft failed to make a hard dock with the station and the undocking took more than a day. During the landing, the Soyuz air supply became toxic, and Nikolai Rukavishnikov was overcome and lost consciousness. The Soyuz 10 landed near Karaganda on April 24. It was the first night landing in the history of human spaceflights.
