Biography
Matveev received his degree in computing and networks from the Bauman Moscow State Technical University in 2006. After graduation, Matveev began working at the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City, Russia as a junior research assistant. He was promoted to engineer in 2009.

Ultimately, neither Vagner nor Matveev flew on this mission. He was reassigned to Soyuz MS-21, his only spaceflight, which launched on 18 March 2022. After 194 days, MS-21 landed in Kazakhstan on 29 September 2022.[2]
