Max conducts Engineering-Structures diagnostics onboard the Cosmonaut Alexei Leonov during the joint Soviet/USA Jupiter Mission. Its mission is to investigate Discovery and the Jovian Monolith by 2010.[3] He helps to reactivate Discovery. Max is killed when he gets too close to the “alien artifact” in the Jupiter orbit.

In the novel, Max survives to marry crewmate Zenia Marchenko.[4]

Notes

  1. Though Max marries Zenia in the novel, he does not survive to 2061; and in the 2010 film he dies during the Jupiter mission.
