Salizhan Sharipov

Russian cosmonaut

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

The record lists Salizhan Sharipov as Russian cosmonaut.

Salizhan Sharipov was born at Özgön in 1964. His recorded nationality is Russia. He was educated at Gubkin University.

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

The record gives his occupations as aircraft pilot, astronaut and engineer.

Technical work compounds - each layer makes the next one cheaper to attempt.

His work was formally recognised with the Hero of the Russian Federation, Medal "For Merit in Space Exploration" and Pilot-Cosmonaut of the Russian Federation.

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.

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