Konstantin Feoktistov made a career in technology at a time when the terms of that career were still being set.
The record lists Konstantin Feoktistov as Soviet cosmonaut.
Konstantin Feoktistov was born at Voronezh in 1926. 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.
Konstantin Feoktistov is described as astronaut, engineer and science astronaut.
His affiliations include Bauman Moscow State Technical University.
The engineer's achievement usually disappears into infrastructure, which is the point.
His work was formally recognised with the USSR State Prize, Order of Lenin and Medal "For the Victory over Germany in the Great Patriotic War 1941–1945".
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.
Death came in 2009, at 83. By then the contribution had passed into the settled record.
