Nadezhda Kuzhelnaya

Russian astronaut

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

The record lists Nadezhda Kuzhelnaya as Russian astronaut.

Nadezhda Kuzhelnaya was born at Alexeyevskoye in 1962. Her recorded nationality is Russia. She was educated at Moscow Aviation Institute and Prydniprovska State Academy of Civil Engineering and Architecture.

Modern careers are conducted in public and at speed, with reputations formed and revised far faster than the work itself changes.

She worked as astronaut, aircraft pilot and engineer.

Technology is judged by adoption: an invention nobody uses is a curiosity.

Her work was formally recognised with the Jubilee Medal «100 Years of Civil Aviation in Russia».

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

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