Sergey Nikolaevich was born on January 12, 1966 in the capital of Russia. His father was then a leading researcher at the IBCh RAS, the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry. During his youth, Sergei decided to connect his life with astronautics. For this reason, in 1983, after completing secondary education at a Moscow school, the young man decided to enter the Moscow Institute of Electronic Technology. The direction in which Revin was trained is "Automation and Electronics". In the last year of study, the future cosmonaut had an internship at the NPO IT enterprise, which develops various sensors for spacecraft.
Having received a diploma of higher education and the qualification of an engineer-physicist, Sergey Nikolaevich continued his work at NPO IT, which lasted from 1989 to 1993. In addition, at the same time, the passion for aerospace technology grew into a business, and Sergei Revin, together with his friends, became the creator of a company called Nebosvod, which specialized in the development of balloons. With the beginning of the autumn of 1993, the future cosmonaut got a job at the Energia rocket and space enterprise.
astronaut career
In 1996, Sergei Revin underwent a medical examination and a special professional selection, after which he was enrolled in the cosmonaut corps. For the successful development of a career as an astronaut, Sergei had to abandon his business. Until the summer of 1998, Sergei Nikolayevich was trained and trained at the CTC, after which he received such a qualification as a “test cosmonaut”.

Less than a month later, on May 15, 2012, the ship with cosmonaut Revin on board launched from the cosmodrome. On the morning of May 17, Soyuz TMA-04 successfully docked with the ISS. For the next four months, Sergei Nikolaevich participated in more than 30 scientific experiments and studies. Most of which were of a medical and biotechnological nature, and were aimed at studying the effect of space flight on the body of astronauts. The results of many of these studies should be taken into account when drawing up a program for a flight to Mars. In addition, Revin participated in the releases of the children's educational program "Time to space!".
On September 16, 2012, Sergei Revin boarded the Soyuz TMA-03M spacecraft, which, three and a half hours later, brought the cosmonaut to Earth, where he was met by the wide steppe of Kazakhstan.
