Russian engineer cosmonaut, 2006-on. Graduated MAI, 2005.
He was selected as a backup flight engineer for Soyuz MS-02. He was made a prime crew member of Soyuz MS-04 but, due to Russian budget cuts, the crews were changed and Tikhonov was then slated to make his first spaceflight on the Soyuz MS-10 spacecraft. He was again removed from the manifest due to delays in launching the Russian Nauka module. Tikhonov was next assigned as the Soyuz Commander for the Soyuz MS-15 flight scheduled for late 2019.
