Life

Kosmodemjansky was the son of a village school teacher. As Kosmodemjanski 1926 after the completion of schooling for the study at the Polytechnic Institute Ivanovo the trigonometry did not pass exam, he was in Rajon Pestjaki instructor in the anti- illiteracy - campaign , and he made continuing. In 1927 he began studying at the mechanical department of the physical - mathematical faculty of Moscow University (MGU). After graduating in 1931, he began his traineeship at the Research Institute for Mathematics and Mechanics with Vladimir Vasilyevich Golubew (1931–1934). In 1932 he became an assistant at the MGU and began teaching. In 1934, after defending his candidate dissertation on the approximate integration of the differential equation of the laminar boundary layer , he received his doctorate as a candidate for science . He then became a lecturer at the chair for theoretical mechanics ( professor in 1939 ). In 1936 he became head of the laboratory for aerodynamics of the mechanical department of the physical-mathematical faculty of the MGU. In 1939 he was to defend his doctoral dissertation about some problem of aerodynamic theory of flow resistance to the Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences PhD.

Kosmodemjansky also taught at the Moscow Pedagogical Institute (1931–1938) and at the Military Academy for Air Force Engineers “Prof. NJ Schukowski ” (1934–1941, 1945–1949). He also worked as an engineer at the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute (ZAGI) from 1931 to 1937 . 1943–1947 he headed the Chair of Theoretical Mechanics at the Moscow Chemical-Technical Mendeleev Institute . In matters of education was Andrei Petrovich Minakov his teacher. From 1942 he dealt with questions about the history of science in mechanics.

In 1945 Kosmodemjanski was a member of the delegation of the USSR at the World Trade Union Congress of the World Trade Union Confederation in London .

Kosmodemjansky had been involved in the missile issue since 1939 . In 1949 he joined the Red Army . He then held various functions in the Council of Ministers of the USSR . In 1949 he was elected a corresponding member of the Academy of Artillery Sciences. In 1955 he became vice-chairman of the Science and Technology Council of the USSR Council of Ministers' Special Committee on Missile Armament . From 1966 he gave lectures on teaching methodology at the Moscow Technical University (MWTU) and at the Moscow Institute of Aviation Technology (MATI). In 1970 he became major general . In 1971 he became a corresponding member of the Académie internationale d'histoire des sciences . In 1972 he was seconded to the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (AN-SSSR, since 1991 Russian Academy of Sciences (RAN)) to work as a senior scientific officer in the Institute for the History of Natural Science and Technology of the AN-SSSR. In 1975 he retired.

Kosmodemjanski was a delegate in the Moscow City Soviet (since 1939), a member of the plenum of the Krasnopresnenskaya Rajon Committee of the CPSU (1945-1948) and a people's assessor in the Supreme Court of the USSR (1946).

Kosmodemjanski was married to Galina Farber (1914–2005) and had two sons: Wadim (1934–2010) taught mechanics at the MWTU, while Alexander (* 1946) is a mathematics lecturer at the Moscow State University of Transport .

Kosmodemjansky was buried in the Vvedenskoye cemetery .
