Christer Fuglesang

Swedish astronaut

Christer Fuglesang belongs to the record of technology as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.

The record lists Christer Fuglesang as Swedish astronaut.

Christer Fuglesang was born at Nacka in 1957. His recorded nationality is Sweden. He was educated at Royal Institute of Technology and Stockholm University.

The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.

Christer Fuglesang is described as physicist, astronaut and blogger.

His affiliations include Royal Institute of Technology.

The engineer's achievement usually disappears into infrastructure, which is the point.

His work was formally recognised with the H. M. The King's Medal, NASA Space Flight Medal and NASA Exceptional Service Medal.

That the work was done from Sweden matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.

Christer Fuglesang is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
