As per the Fédération aéronautique internationale, the Karman Line is the border that defines the separation between the skies of Earth and outer space. Located 100km above sea level, this boundary is what separates aeronautics from astronautics. Despite the breathtaking complexity and amount of danger involved in spaceflight, it is a wonder that only 3 humans have met their end above the Karman line. The Russian cosmonauts who flew on the Soyuz 11 mission to board the world’s first space station in 1971, were victims of an unfortunate series of mechanical failures which led to the fatal depressurization of their crew capsule. The three cosmonauts, Georgy Dobrovolsky, Vladislav Volkov, and Viktor Patsayev, are listed as the only humans to have died in space. But it took the Soviet Union two years to list their official cause of death. The Iron Curtain was in full effect and many parts of the Soviet Space Program were tightly guarded secrets. This airtight secrecy is, what some believe, would have made it possible that there were other casualties which never made it into the official records.
