KHRUNICHEV STATE RESEARCH AND PRODUCTION
SPACE CENTER

Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center is a parent company of Khrunichev Medical and Consumer Goods Plant. The Khrunichev Center dates its origins to 1916, when the Russian-Baltic Stock Company began the construction of a factory that in 1917 was named Second Russo-Balt Automobile Factory.

 

Presently the Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center is an amalgamation of two largest Russian producers of aerospace technology: Khrunichev Manufacturing Plant and ”Salyut” Design Bureau. The last years have shown this kind of cooperation to be valuable. The efficiency of the Space Center's activ­ities increased and Russian space technologies reached higher success in global markets penetration and worldwide recognition.

The history of the Center is the history of the establishment and development of Russian avia­tion, advanced space technology, launch vehicles and orbital stations “Salyut”, “Mir”, space modules “Kvant”, “Kvant-2”, “Kristall”, “Spectr”, “Priroda”, modules of ISS “Zarya” and “Zvezda”.


It is also the history of new tech­nology development, the expansion on the commercial launch market, participation in the realization of international programs and, most important, strengthening of leading positions in Space development. Participation in the creation of the International space station, contracts on commercial launches, the creation of the middle class launcher “Rokot” and LV family “Angara” - this is an incomplete list of enterprise's present activities.

 

The scientific potential, dynamic development and production quality of the Khrunichev State Space Center make it possible to offer a wide range of competitive products and services, which meets the top standards of the world market.
