Lev Matveevich Zelenyi (Russian:Лев Матвеевич Зелёный, born August 23, 1948) is aSoviet andRussian physicist, an expert in the field of space plasma physics, the physics of solar-terrestrial relations, nonlinear dynamics and planetary research. Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences (2008, Corresponding Member 2003), Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor, Director of theSpace Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (2002-2017), with whom his entire career is connected, now his scientific advisor. Vice-president of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 2013–2017, member of the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Foreign member of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (2008), full member of the International Academy of Astronautics.
His main area of scientific activity is the physics of spaceplasma. He has published more than 700 scientific articles, and has about 7,000 citations of his works published after 1975.
In 1972 he graduated from the Department of Aerophysics and Space Research of theMoscow Institute of Physics and Technology. Since the same 1972 he has been working at the Space Research Institute of the RAS. He began to study physics of space plasma under the supervision ofAlbert Galeev.
In January 2012 following the reentry of theFobos-Grunt spacecraft, Zeleny proposed a repeat mission called Fobos-Grunt 2, on behalf of mission scientistAlexander Zakharov.[1][2] However, withRoscosmos reaching an agreement withESA in March 2012 to participate in theExoMars programme, the agency opted instead to concentrate its efforts on that programme.[citation needed]
