Valeri Kubasov is remembered in technology for work that changed what came after it.
The record lists Valeri Kubasov as Soviet Cosmonaut (1935-2014).
Valeri Kubasov was born at Vyazniki in 1935. His recorded nationality is the Soviet Union. He was educated at Moscow Aviation Institute.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
Valeri Kubasov is described as astronaut, engineer and writer.
His affiliations include S.P. Korolev Rocket and Space Corporation Energia.
The engineer's achievement usually disappears into infrastructure, which is the point.
His work was formally recognised with the Order of Lenin, Pilot-Cosmonaut of the USSR and Medal "Veteran of Labour".
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 2014, at 79. By then the contribution had passed into the settled record.
