In 1994 according to a joint resolution of the then Russian Aerospace Agency (RKA) and the Russian Academy of Sciences, RKA Director General ordered to establish the RKA`s Scientific and Technical Advisory Council (STAC) for Programs of Scientific and Applied Research and Experiments on Manned Space Complexes. The Council`s goal has been to guide effective Scientific and Applied Research Programs of manned space flights.

STAC was established to:

• develop and form on a competitive basis long-term programs of research and experiments onboard manned space complexes being developed within the frame of the Federal Space Program of Russia, the Inter-State Space Program and international cooperation programs;

• perform scientific and technical support and evolutionary advancing and improvement of the above-mentioned programs.

STAC acts in accordance with the affirmed Regulations, and depending on individual cases gets involved in solution of most complex and important problems connected with strategic and tactical planning, monitoring of implementation of Scientific and Applied Research (SAR) on Manned Space Stations with drawing up of concrete recommendations for top management of the Program.

STAC Chairman Raikunov Gennady Gennadievich

STAC is chaired by RAIKUNOV Gennady Gennadievich, Director General of FGUP TSNIImash.

Gennady Raikunov was born on December 3, 1952 in the city of Volgograd. In 1975 he graduated cum laude from the Volgograd Polytechnical Institute.

Gennady Gennadievich Raikunov is a prominent scientist in the field of the system analysis, special purpose rocket and space systems, ballistic support of flights, designing, engineering and experimental testing of rocket and space systems, complexes and facilities of civil economic and strategic appointment, newest information technologies in the field of Earth remote sensing from space. He developed a new scientific school supposing system-wide approach to multipurpose utilization of aerospace, geophysical and geological information to solve application tasks. Scientific results of his activities have been published in 118 transactions, reported at 21 conferences, presented in more than 250 scientific and technical reports.

He is a full member of the Russian Academy of Astronautics named after K.E.Tsiolkovsky, Doctor of Engineering Science, professor, winner of the Russian Federation Government Prize, honored scientist, deserved engineering worker of Russia.

STAC consists of 10 sections, i.e. structural field subdivisions being supported by appropriate field heading Roscosmos, Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) and other agencies` organizations. Members of STAC sections are administrators, scientists, designers, experts from rocket and space industry companies, as well as representatives of RAS and other agencies. Total membership of this team-work is up to 80 organizations.

Sections are headed by top-ranked Russian scientists and experts in corresponding fields of research activities.
