Vladimir Chelomey made a career in technology at a time when the terms of that career were still being set.
The record lists Vladimir Chelomey as Soviey scientist and engineer (1914-1984).
Vladimir Chelomey was born at Siedlce in 1914. His recorded nationality is the Soviet Union. He was educated at Kyiv Aviation University and Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute.
Around the turn of the twentieth century, national institutions, mass media and mass politics changed both the scale of a career and its risks.
He worked as engineer, university teacher and military flight engineer.
His affiliations include Bauman Moscow State Technical University, Baranov Central Institute of Aviation Motor Development and OKB-51.
Technology is judged by adoption: an invention nobody uses is a curiosity.
His recorded fields of work are mechanics and control theory.
His work was formally recognised with the USSR State Prize, Order of Lenin and Hero of Socialist 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.
Vladimir Chelomey died in 1984, aged 70. What survives is the work, which is the only durable form of a reputation.
