Pawel Wladimirowitsch Winogradow ( Russian Павел Владимирович Виноградов , scientific transliteration Pavel Vladimirovič Vinogradov ; born August 31, 1953 in Magadan , Magadan Oblast , Russian SFSR ) is a Russian cosmonaut .

education

Vinogradow comes from the capital of the Russian administrative region of the same name, Magadan. After graduating from university, he went to Moscow and began an apprenticeship at the State Aviation Institute (MAI) in September 1970 . He trained as a lathe operator until one year later he began studying rocket production in the aircraft department. In March 1977 he received his diploma as mechanical engineer from the MAI. He then moved to the department for automatic construction systems and was trained as a systems analyst (graduation 1980). He developed computer programs for the construction of reusable spacecraft and software for aerodynamic models.

In 1983, Vinogradow started working as an engineer in the design office at NPO Energia (NPOE), which at that time was still called the "Central Design Office for Experimental Mechanical Engineering". He had been involved in tests of the crew cabin of the Soyuz-TM spacecraft , the coupling mechanism of the space shuttle Buran , as well as new teaching aids for the training of cosmonauts.

Cosmonaut activity

Vinogradov switched to the cosmonaut department of NPOE on June 2, 1992 after he was selected on March 3 (10th NPOE group) together with Sergei Treschchow and Alexander Lasutkin . The one and a half year basic training began in October in “Star City” near Moscow and was completed in February 1994. This was followed by an advanced course, which lasted nine months, and in which he learned survival training and skydiving.

In February 1995, Pavel Vinogradov was appointed to the substitute team for the 20th permanent crew of the Mir space station . Six months later he was appointed flight engineer for the Soyuz TM-24 crew . Together with his commander Gennady Manakov , he trained on Mir for a six-month stay until problems in Manakov's heart were diagnosed in July 1996. Since Russian crews are never torn apart, the crew was replaced by their substitutes just a week before the start.

From August 1996 Vinogradov trained as a flight engineer for Soyuz TM-26 . The mission began on August 5, 1997 under the command of Anatoly Solovyov . Two days later the cosmonauts reached the Mir station. During their six-month program, the two-man permanent crew also received American visits: STS-86 stopped between September 27 and October 3, 1997 and STS-89 between January 24 and 29, 1998. Vinogradov and Solovyov left five times Space station to carry out extraordinaire activities. Her replacement came with Soyuz TM-27 at the end of January 1998 together with the French guest cosmonaut Léopold Eyharts . Both crews worked together for three weeks until Solovyov, Vinogradov and Eyharts returned to Earth on February 19, 1998.

Shortly afterwards, Vinogradov was combined with Valery Korsun to form a new crew. They were to be the replacement crew for the third and flight crew for the fifth permanent crew of the International Space Station (ISS) . A year later, in February 1999, Winogradov was replaced by his colleague Sergei Treschchow . For this, Pavel Vinogradow was to provide the replacement crew for Soyuz TM-30 as a flight engineer with Salischan Sharipov . It was then planned to send them to Mir as the 29th regular crew. Before that could happen, however, the station was shut down.

From January 2001 Vinogradov took part in a basic course for the systems of the ISS until he was appointed head of the cosmonaut department of NPOE in early February 2003.

Since January 2004 Vinogradov has been training for his assignment as commander of the ISS expedition 13 . Together with the American Jeffrey Williams and the Brazilian Marcos Pontes , he set off for the space station at the end of March 2006. Guest cosmonaut Pontes flew back to Earth after a week and a half together with the twelfth long-term crew. Vinogradov and Williams left the space station for six and a half hours for maintenance in early June. Five weeks later, STS-121 stopped at the ISS and, in addition to food, equipment and experiments, brought another crew member - Thomas Reiter . The German also stayed on board when Commander Vinogradov and his flight engineer Williams ended their stay in Earth orbit after six months with Soyuz TMA-8 at the end of September 2006.

Vinogradov set out on his third long-term flight on March 28, 2013. As commander, he steered the Soyuz TMA-08M spacecraft to the ISS. He works there as a flight engineer for ISS Expedition 35 . On April 19, 2013 Vinogradov completed his seventh spacecraft mission together with his Russian colleague Roman Romanenko . They exchanged various scientific experiments on the outer skin of the ISS and installed a new navigation aid, whereby a test box with metal samples floated away. After the Soyuz TMA-07M spacecraft was decoupled on May 13, 2013, Vinogradov took command of the ISS, and the crew thus belonged to ISS Expedition 36 . The return to earth took place on September 11, 2013. With 546 days in space, Vinogradov was then number 9 among the astronauts with the longest stay in space, and at 60 he was number 6 among the oldest space travelers.

Pavel Vinogradov is married and has three children.
