RAVIL NAZIROV | Семинар ИКИ РАН «Механика, управление и информатика»

Ravil Nazirov (07/09/1951 – 04/24/2025) was a leading specialist in the design of information and measurement systems and computer technologies, mathematical modeling of complex systems, reception, processing and archiving of satellite data, ballistics and mechanics of space flight. Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor. Deputy Director of IKI for Science (1994 - 2018), Head of the Department of Space Dynamics and Mathematical Information Processing (1986 - 2025). Author of more than 230 scientific papers, including 3 monographs and 3 patents. In 1974, Ravil Nazirov graduated from the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of Moscow State University. In the same year, as a student of Pavel Eliasberg, he joined the ballistic department of IKI as an engineer. In 1979 he defended his PhD thesis and, in the same year, became a junior and, then, a senior researcher. In 1986, he became head of the Department of Cosmic Dynamics and Mathematical Data Processing. In 1989, he defended his thesis for the degree of Doctor of Technical Sciences in the specialty "Information and Measurement Systems" and in the same year became the head of the IKI computer department. From 1994 to 2018, Ravil Nazirov was Deputy Director of IKI for Science, responsible for many issues of the institute's internal life. At the same time, he continued to actively engage in scientific research. During these years, under the leadership and with the active participation of Ravil Nazirov, there were, in particular: - methods of the guaranteeing approach to reliability assessment and determination of a condition of mechanical systems are investigated and developed; - methods of solving the problem of automation of the situational monitoring system based on remote sensing data and ground measurements using telecommunication technologies are proposed; - ballistic design of a number of near-Earth and interplanetary space missions has been carried out; - the concept of controlled motion of natural celestial bodies has been proposed and research has been conducted in this direction; - the constantly developing Russian Space Science Internet has been developed, designed and implemented, on the basis of which, among other things, a system for obtaining and primary processing of space experiment data, archiving and distributing it, as well as an information system for navigation and planning complex multi-satellite experiments has been created; - The autonomous space data storage center at IKI has been established and has been operating and developing for many years. Ravil Nazirov also made a great contribution to the development, implementation and practical use of new effective methods to improve the reliability of space operations. These methods have been successfully applied in all IKI space projects. In particular, he participated in the refinement of the parameters of the orbit of the Halley comet (to optimize the trajectories of the Vega‑1 and Vega‑2 interplanetary stations directed towards it) and in measuring the dynamic characteristics of the atmosphere of Venus (using balloon probes delivered there by these stations), in calculations and optimization of orbits for a number of other space experiments. and in clarifying the orbits of potentially dangerous asteroids. He took an active part in the successful implementation of the INTEGRAL and Spektr-Roentgen-Gamma space projects, made a great contribution to the management and ground support of the Relikt astrophysical observatory, as well as the international orbital astrophysical observatories Roentgen (on the Kvant module of the Mir space station) and Garnet. For many years, the staff of his department carried out the initial processing of data from the Roentgen and Garnet observatories, contributing to the discovery of X-ray skies and a detailed study of the properties of dozens of interesting objects (black holes and neutron stars). Simultaneously with his work at IKI, Ravil Nazirov taught for more than 20 years, first at the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, and later, as a professor, at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and the Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics at the National Research University of Higher School of Economics. He was awarded the title of "Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation", and in 2022 he was awarded a Certificate of Honor from the President of the Russian Federation.
