Biography
In 1972 he graduated from the Department of Space Studies Aerophysics and MIPT. Since 1972 he has been working in the Space Research Institute.
On January 2012 following the reentry of the Fobos-Grunt spacecraft, Zeleny proposed a repeat mission called Fobos-Grunt 2, on behalf of mission scientist Alexander Zakharov.[1][2] However, with Roscosmos reaching an agreement with ESA in March 2012 to participate in the ExoMars programme, the agency opted instead to concentrate its efforts on that programme.[3]
Roskosmos has not ruled out future missions to Phobos, however their resources are currently focussed on Exomars and the Luna-Glob mission to the Moon.[4][5]
