Zhai Zhigang is remembered in technology for work that changed what came after it.
The record lists Zhai Zhigang as Chinese astronaut.
Zhai Zhigang was born at Longjiang County in 1966. His recorded nationality is People's Republic of China. He was educated at PLA Air Force Aviation University.
Modern careers are conducted in public and at speed, with reputations formed and revised far faster than the work itself changes.
Zhai Zhigang is described as astronaut and fighter pilot.
The engineer's achievement usually disappears into infrastructure, which is the point.
His work was formally recognised with the Spaceflight Exploit Medal.
Working from People's Republic of China shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.
Zhai Zhigang is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
