He was born in thevillage ofMaloye Vasilyevo. In hisschool years Arkady, together with his elder brotherYevgeny, under the leadership of the magazine "Knowledge is Power", designed and assembled atelescope with a 10-fold increase with the necessary bed and a mechanism ofrotation in two planes,lenses for theeyepiece and theobjective sent to the editorial Board of the journal free of charge.

After careful study of the materials received from German rocket scientists, A.I. Ostashev finally decided on the topic of his graduation project: "Composite rocket with a cruise last stage", with the stability of the main stage. But with such a topic of the graduation project, difficulties arose when choosing a consultant. Due to the novelty of the topic, they refused to consult:
On the advice of the assistant dean of the faculty Gaponenko M.P. Ostashev went toPodlipki to Sergei Pavlovich Korolev. So in 1947, A. I. Ostashev met S. P. Korolev.

All the scientific and engineering activities of Ostashev since 1948 connected with the development and introduction of the system of tests of missiles and rocket-space complexes. At the preliminary design of a famous"SEVEN" R-7, under the guidance of Ostashev createdvolume No. 14 fully dedicated to the testing of missiles. Arkady Ilyich author and co-author of over 200scientific works[4], articles andinventions. In addition to engineering and scientific work, he was leading andteaching. Since 1961, he has beenDocent (Department "Integrated system for measurement of aircraft")MAI them. S. Ordzhonikidze, lectured at Department No. 308.

Ostashev has publications in books, («the academician S. P. Korolyov scientist, engineer, man»,«the Beginning of the space era»,«an Unforgettable Baikonur»,«Soyuz-Apollo» and others), magazines (The magazine "Russian space No. 10 2015, "Our Heritage" 97/2011,Science and life No. 1 1997 and others) and the papers on the following topics: test RKT, the history of the development ofcosmonautics history of developmentSKB-3, OKB-1, TsKBEM, NPO "Energy" and RSC "Energia". In the early 1990s Arkady Ilyich was a frequent guest at the Memorial house-Museum of academician Korolev. He came to "tell" his memories on a tape recorder. From the memoirs of the Director of the Memorial house-Museum of academician Korolev L. A. Filinoy:
...Arkady Ilyich leads the whole Deposit of episodes from the life of S. P. Korolev, Moscow andBaikonur, but in the stories he never emphasizes its role, sometimes leading, as if he was there and only. This ability to look from the side, being in the center of events, the wilful detachment allows to him, like the custodian of the great MYSTERIES of TIME, keep it to once share the secret, tell you first hand... And more. Over the years, you realize that the most difficult thing in life, oddly enough, is the ability to be grateful to people, without the statute of limitations of the good done to you. This quality was given to S. P. Korolev. So the bookSergey Pavlovich Korolev: The Genius of the 20th Century was written not only by the best student of the Korolev School, the most talented test pilot of rocket technology of the 20th century, but also by a very honest person who remained forever grateful and devoted to the Chief Designer.[3]
In 1997, the American writer J.. Harford published the book «Korolev»[7], (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York City, 1997.) materials for which the author collected a few years. J.. Harford met with Ostashev and interviews were used in the book, but with some mistakes. Having received from the author instance and translating it into Russian, A.I. Ostashev wrote a letter of protest to the author. After the death of Ostashev in 2001 and 2005 there were published two editions of his book«the Test of rocket and space technology business of my life. Events and facts». In 2010 published the book "Sergei Pavlovich Korolev is the Genius of the twentieth century" lifetime personal memoirs about academician S. P. Korolev (M. GOU VPO MSFUISBN 978-5-8135-0510-2), materials for which Ostashev collected from the moment of the enterprise, headed by S. P. Korolev, and until 1998. Gennady Artamonov, one of Ostashev's colleagues, wrote the following poem about him:
Rocket fire tried to get away,
But could not, and she froze...
In granite black
Memory we still have to go
In the Park of silence, the silence of the plates.
October the Baikonur not forgotten.
And now here without unnecessary big words
"Come" and lay down Arkady Ostashev.
He came to his brother, to relax,
Maybe with him to pass the eternal path.
Burning steppes, and melt concrete...
October he will not forget the polygon.
