'''Boris Vladimirovich Morukov''' ({{lang-ru|Бори́с Влади́мирович Моруков}}; 1 October 1950 – 1 January 2015) was a Russian [[physician]] at the State Research Center RF-Institute for Biomedical Problems (IBMP). He trained with the [[Russian Federal Space Agency]] as a research-cosmonaut and flew aboard [[NASA]] Space Shuttle mission [[STS-106]] as a [[mission specialist]].
==Bio==
Morukov is married to Nina M. Morukova and they have a son (Ivan) and daughter (Olga). Morukov’s mother, Lidia F. Khromova, resides in Moscow. His father, Vladimir D. Morukov, is deceased. He enjoys reading, watching movies and cooking.


==Biography==
Morukov graduated from high school in [[1967]] and received his [[Doctor of Medicine|M.D.]] from the 2nd Moscow Medical Institute (now [[Moscow Medical University]]) in 1973. He joined the professorate in [[outer space|space]], [[aviation]] and naval medicine at the Institute for Biomedical Problems in 1978 and received a [[Doctor of Philosophy|Ph.D.]] in these disciplines in 1979.

As a cosmonaut-physician, Morukov completed [[medical]] training in [[cardiology]], [[gastroenterology]], [[otolaryngology]], [[stomatology]], [[ophthalmology]], and [[cardiopulmonary resuscitation]] between 1989 and 1991. In 1995, he took an advanced course in emergency medical care. In 1996, he completed a medical training course in [[endocrinology]] and [[hematology]]. {{citation needed|date=January 2015}}


From October 1990 to February 1992, Morukov attended a basic space-training course at [[Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center]]. For more than two decades he was involved in providing medical operations support for crewed space flights. From 1979 to 1980 he provided medical support for the prolonged space missions on the space station "[[Salyut 6]]" as a member of the staff in [[Mission Control Center]]. From 1982 to 1987, Morukov coordinated scientific projects dedicated to the development of countermeasures to the negative metabolic changes that occur during [[hypokinesia]] and [[microgravity]]. His specific scientific interest in this area is [[calcium metabolism correction]]. He organized a series of experiments with prolonged head-down tilt, including a 370-day experiment dedicated to the experimental testing of a countermeasure complex for prolonged space flights. He participated in a joint American-Russian medical experiment on [[STS-60]], [[STS-71|Mir 18/STS-71]] and all other Mir-[[NASA]] Project Missions. From 1995 to 1998 he served as the Human Life-Sciences Experiments Coordinator for the NASA-Mir scientific program. He published more than 100 scientific papers and has [[patents]] for four inventions. {{citation needed|date=January 2015}}

Morukov served on the crew of [[STS-106]] (8–20, 2000). The STS-106 crew successfully prepared the [[International Space Station]] for the arrival of the first permanent crew. The five astronauts and two cosmonauts delivered more than 6,600 pounds of supplies and installed [[battery (electricity)|batteries]], power converters, a [[toilet]] and a treadmill on the Space Station. Two crew members performed a space walk in order to connect power, data and communications cables to the newly arrived [[Zvezda (ISS module)|Zvezda Service Module]] and the Space Station.
