Aleksandr Laveykin made a career in technology at a time when the terms of that career were still being set.
The record lists Aleksandr Laveykin as Soviet cosmonaut.
Aleksandr Laveykin was born at Moscow in 1951. His recorded nationality is the Soviet Union. He was educated at Bauman Moscow State Technical University.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
Aleksandr Laveykin is described as engineer, astronaut and flight engineer.
The engineer's achievement usually disappears into infrastructure, which is the point.
His work was formally recognised with the Hero of the Soviet Union, Order of Lenin and Medal "For Merit in Space Exploration".
Working from the Soviet Union shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.
Aleksandr Laveykin is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
