Krasinsky graduated in 1961 from the Faculty of Mathematics and Mechanics of
Leningrad State University. He then became a graduate student and, subsequently, an employee of the Институт теоретической астрономии АН СССР (Institute of Theoretical Astronomy,
Academy of Sciences of the USSR). In 1965 he successfully defended his thesis for the Russian
Candidate of Science degree (Ph.D.) in physical and mathematical sciences. In 1988 he was transferred to the Institute of Applied Astronomy of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. There in 1989 he completed his dissertation for the Russian
Doctor of Sciences degree[1] (similar to
habilitation). Krasinsky and colleagues developed and implemented a problem-oriented language SLON and a software system (called the ERA system) for solving problems in dynamic and ephemeris astronomy. (ERA is the acronym for "Ephemerides for Research in Astronomy".)[2][3] Krasinsky and colleagues applied the ERA software system to develop a high-precision, long-term numerical theory of the motions of our solar system's planets and Earth's moon.[1][4]
Krasinsky was the president of
IAU commission 4-DI on ephemerides during 2003-2006.
The
asteroid5714 Krasinsky is named after him. Krasinsky was awarded in 1980 the
Order of the Badge of Honour and in 1982 the
USSR State Prize. He made important contributions to the theory and implementation of Russia's radio interferometric complex "Kvazar-KVO" created at the Институт прикладной астрономии (Institute of Applied Astronomy) of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS). For his contribution to the creation of the complex, Krasinsky in 2002 was awarded the
Order of Honour.[1]
