All died in reentry from asphyxiation, in 1971 Soyuz 11 visited the Salyut-1 station and died on their return to Earth; Soviet custom says a pilot is not a cosmonaut until they return from their first mission in space; in this case, Volkov had flown before (Soyuz 7) but Dobrovolsky and Patsayev had not; for this reason, examples of the two rookies are amongst the rarest space autographs in the world; this envelope has no franking or postmark; the signatures are all dated Jun 6, the date of the launch; the Volkov appears good; could this have been signed by the complete crew prior to departure? offered as a genuine Volkov and forged Dobrovolsky and Patsayev.

Visited Salyut 6; returned with crew of Soyuz 29, this envelope carried to Salyut-6 has the Soviet on-board postmark, the private Salyut-6 cancel, and the GDR Post cancel (showing distinct halftone dots) but lacks the Salyut-6 mark; Hopferweiser states, "In contrast to cancellations added before launch or after landing, on-board cancellations show distinct halftone dots."; group also includes an additional 6 covers each autographed by the crew; one of the envelopes has Bykovski, Jahn, and also the backup pilot, Gorbatko; a total of 7 covers and 15 autographs.

U.S.S.R., 1979 (Apr 10), Soyuz 33 too busy to service in flight. Crew: N. Rukavishnikov, G. Ivanov (Bulgaria). Failed to dock with Salyut 6. The envelope is impressive; the two stamps are tied to the entire with both orbital (Salyut-6) and ground postmarks; impressively, there are cancel for Baikonur (the launch complex), Turatam (the railroad station), and Leninsk (the nearest city); the cover is autographed by Rukavishnikov and Ivanov (Soyuz 33); because of a breakdown of the moving mechanism of Soyuz 33, the docking with the station was cancelled; the situation was tense and there was no time to play postmaster in orbit; once on the ground, postmarks were applied; the fact that orbital dates match a ground date confirms the fact that it did not get cancelled in orbit; while it is possible the envelope accompanied the crew and was later serviced on the ground, it is also possible that it is one of dozens that never flew; a 1 mm elevation in part of the Salyut-6 mark makes the carrying question inconclusive; sold as unflown; nevertheless, a great addition to a Soviet collection.
