Academician Lev Zelenyi is a physicist, professor and expert in plasma physics and plasma theory. Since 2013 Lev Zelenyi has been vice president of Russian Academy of Sciences and heads the Bureau of RAS's Council for Space. 2000s witnessed many launches, where IKI's scientists were involved in international collaboration, including the Mars Odyssey and Mars Exploration Rovers (NASA), Mars Express and Venus Express (ESA), and INTEGRAL (ESA), to name just a few. The major project of the decade was Phobos Sample Return, that was launched in 2011, but unfortunately did not leave the near-Earth orbit and perished in the Atlantic ocean. This tragedy led to substantial reconsideration of the Russian space program. Nonetheless, IKI's current agenda includes many working missions and projects to be launched in the coming years.
