His main area of scientific activity is the physics of space plasma. He has published more than 700 scientific articles, and has about 7,000 citations of his works published after 1975.

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.

In 1972 he graduated from the Department of Aerophysics and Space Research of the Moscow 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 of Albert Galeev.

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]
