Vladimir Solovyov (cosmonaut)

Vladimir Solovyov (cosmonaut) is a astronomy topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Vladimir Solovyov (cosmonaut) rather than just read about it. In short: Vladimir Alekseyevich Solovyov (Russian: Влади́мир Алексе́евич Соловьёв; born 11 November 1946) is a former Soviet and Russian cosmonaut. He was selected as a cosmonaut on 1 December 1978 and flew as Flight Engineer on Soyuz T-10 and Soyuz T-15, spending a total of 361 days, 22 hours, 49 minutes in space.

Key takeaways

Vladimir Solovyov (cosmonaut) belongs to astronomy; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Vladimir Solovyov (cosmonaut) to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Vladimir Solovyov (cosmonaut) from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Vladimir Alekseyevich Solovyov (Russian: Влади́мир Алексе́евич Соловьёв; born 11 November 1946) is a former Soviet and Russian cosmonaut. He was selected as a cosmonaut on 1 December 1978 and flew as Flight Engineer on Soyuz T-10 and Soyuz T-15, spending a total of 361 days, 22 hours, 49 minutes in space. His first flight, Soyuz T-10, took off on 8 February 1984, to join Salyut 7. The crew spent ten months (nearly 237 days) performing numerous medical and space manufacturing experiments. They came down aboard Soyuz T-11 on 2 October 1984. Solovyov's second flight was aboard Soyuz T-15, taking off on 13 March 1986 and coming back aboard the same craft on 16 July 1986, 125 days later. During the T-15 mission, the crew transferred equipment from Salyut-7 to the new Mir space station; they were the last aboard the former and the first aboard the latter. Solovyov then became the Mir flight director (Russian Mission Control) for several years. He retired on 18 February 1994 but came back to head the Russian segment of the International Space Station (ISS). Solovyov is married and has two children. He was awarded:

Twice Hero of the Soviet Union (2 October 1984 and 16 July 1986); Pilot-Cosmonaut of the USSR; Order of Honour (Russian Federation); Order of Friendship (Russian Federation); Two Orders of Lenin (USSR); Medal "For Merit in Space Exploration" (Russian Federation); Knight of the Legion of Honour (France); Kirti Chakra (India).

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Vladimir Solovyov (cosmonaut)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Vladimir Solovyov (cosmonaut) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Vladimir Solovyov (cosmonaut) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Vladimir Solovyov (cosmonaut) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Vladimir Solovyov (cosmonaut)

In research: Vladimir Solovyov (cosmonaut) appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Vladimir Solovyov (cosmonaut) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Vladimir Solovyov (cosmonaut) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1946 births, 20th-century Russian explorers, Bauman Moscow State Technical University alumni, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Vladimir Solovyov (cosmonaut) outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
