Biography:
He was born on January 20, 1940 in the Nevyrkiv village of Korets district of Rivne region of Ukrainian SSR.
In 1962 he graduated from geodetic faculty of Lviv Order of Lenin Polytechnic Institute in the specialty "astronomy and geodesy".
Since 1962 he has been working at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine; at the same time teaches astrometry at the Kiev University.
Since 1965 to 1968, he studied at the graduate school of the Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.
In 1970 he defended his dissertation at the Institute of Mathematics of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR "Study of selenium-bearing support networks and experience in building an independent system".
Since 1973 to 1977, he held the position of scientific secretary of the Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.
During 1977-1984, he worked as the deputy director for scientific work of the Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.
At a meeting of the Scientific Council of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR on "Astronomy" on December 27, 1980 with the establishment of the Scientific Council of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR on "Astronomy" section on astronomical instrumentation, Deputy Director of the Main Astronomical Observatory of the Academy of Sciences and the functioning of the section.
In 1983, he was among the co-authors awarded the State Prize of Ukraine in the field of science and technology for a series of works "Development of theory and practical construction of coordinate systems for geodynamic, selenium and space research".
On June 6, 1986 he defended his doctoral dissertation "Generalized system of astronomical and selenium-constant constants" at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR.
He worked in the photometry laboratory, during 1984-1993 he was the head of the department of photographic astrometry of the Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (according to other data, he headed the department during 1984-2002).
In 1995, he received the title of professor.
In 1996 he became a laureate of the M. P. Barabashov Prize.
He made a significant contribution to the development of astronomy and the processing of the obtained observational data, in particular: in 2000 he together with A.I. Yatsenko, G.O. Ivanov, L.K. Pakulyak, T.P. Sergeyeva, based on observations made at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR as part of the "Photographic survey of the sky" program, which was proposed in 1977, created in 1999 the FONAK astrographic catalog containing positions, proper motions, and BVR photometry of 2 million stars in the northern sky.
In 2003, he received the title of Chief Researcher.
Based on a comprehensive analysis of the current state of lunar exploration, the Moon-2004 model for the Ukrainian polar lunar satellite Ukrselena was built in collaboration with Kharkiv astronomers. The performers of the theme were Yu.G. Shkuratov, V.S. Kysluk, L.M. Litvinenko, Ya.S. Jacki.
He died on May 3, 2014 in Kyiv City.
The main direction of his scientific activity was selenium and the dynamics of the Moon and Mars and stellar dynamics. His scientific works also concern the problems of photographic astrometry. Participated in the creation of the first in the USSR catalogs of the positions of the points of the lunar surface, performed a series of studies to create a generalized system of geometric and dynamic characteristics of the Moon. He was the research supervisor of the Photographic Sky Survey program which involved six observatories.
V.S. Kislyuk participated in the calibration program of the Hipparcos catalog, obtained as a result of the space mission of the European Space Agency. The so-called "Kyiv" solution, obtained together with colleagues, turned out to be competitive and was used during the derivation of the final Hipparcos catalog system. In 1997, this work was awarded a certificate by the European Space Agency.
V.S. Kislyuk was a member of the editorial boards of the magazines "Kinematics and Physics of Celestial Bodies", "Cosmic Science and Technology" (held the position of executive secretary), "Bulletin of the Astronomical School" and the annual "Astronomical Calendar".
He is the author of about 170 scientific publications, including 4 books and monographs.

For as long as humanity has gazed upward, the night sky has been a source of fascination, wonder, and endless curiosity. The stars that light up the dark canvas of the night, the planets that dance across the sky, and the boundless mysteries of the universe invite us to question, explore, and dream. This guide serves as a compass to understand the vast realm of astronomy, lead you through the cosmos, enhance your understanding of the world, and inspire you to discover your place within this universe....
Space has always been a fascinating frontier for humans. From the first satellite, Sputnik 1, in 1957, to the amazing Mars rovers, our adventures in space show our love for discovery, creativity, and courage. Exploring space is a big dream, always pushing us to learn more and go further.Nowadays, data science is making a meaningful contribution to space technology. It's changing how we think about space. Being able to gather, understand, and use lots of data has helped us get to know the universe better and has changed how we explore and move through space.This article will examine how important data science is in space technology and how it's changing our journey into space. We'll cover how data science is making our space missions smarter and helping us solve the mysteries of space...
