Open Joint Stock Company “Academician V.P.Makeyev State Rocket Centre” is the leading developer of strategic rocket complexes with submarine-based ballistic missiles and one of the largest research-and-design centers of Russia for development of space-rocket technologies.
More than half a year of creative activities and selfless labour of the scientists, designers, production and testing workes of SRC and cooperating enterprises have resulted in the development and production of three generations of rocket complexes, eight base missiles and fifteen modifications that made up a basis for strategic sea-based nuclear forces of the USSR and Russia. In total about 4000 up-to-date serial sea-based missiles have been manufactured, of them more than 1200 missiles were launched. Successful launches are 96% on the average.
At present the SRC makes a contribution to further development of home sea-based missile production, participating in design and manufacture of new rocket complexes and updating those in operation. In 2003 the SS-N-23 missile with warheads of higher reliability was put into operation. In the middle of 2004 the SINEVA sea-based missile, an SS-N-23 modification, successfully passed official tests. The SINEVA is a missile of great potentials that will retain its efficiency for years.
The SRC actively participates in the Roskosmos programs, launch vehicle development and home and foreign spacecraft launches.
In 1995 the VOLNA launch vehicle (LV) was successfully launched with research equipment of the Bremen University. In 1998 two TUBSAT satellites were launched by the SHTIL launch vehicle. A small space platform was designed to efficiently construct various small spacecraft, in particular, the KOMPAS satellite that was launched in 2001.
Since 2001 launches of experimental spacecraft have been performed to develop, under real conditions, promising technologies for new vehicles for interplanetary flights and missions connected with landing on other planets and return to Earth. Spacecraft launches are being prepared by SRC and European Space Agency to study flight aerothermodynamics.
Under order of the “Air Launch” aerospace corporation, an air-borne space-rocket complex is under development now. Within the framework of the development of international space-rocket complex TSIKLON-2K a space booster is being designed.
According to a Russian-Brazil cooperation program, activities are performed on updating of the technical and operating characteristics of the Brazil VLS-1 space-rocket complex. The goal of the studies is to create the conditions required to efficiently use the VLS-1 LV for launching various-purpose satellites from the Alkantara Space Centre.
Applying its great scientific and technical potential, the SRC develops various science-intensive products and equipment, including those import substituting, for petroleum industry, firefighting and construction facilities, medical equipment.
One of successful conversion projects of the SRC is the establishment of the South-Ural special center in 1995 for elimination of munition and ammunition that executes off-budget orders for arms elimination.
Under order of the Department of Energy of the USA 1-kW, 3-kW and 30-kW wind turbines have been designed and serial production is being prepared. Hydrogen wind stations are under development. The AKP-50 fire car lift, truck-mounted SB-170 concrete pump and foam elevator have been designed and manufactured.
The establishment of an Integrated Structure for strategic submarine-borne missile complexes based on OAO “Makeyev GRTs” is under completion now. This is one of the basic conditions for successful implementation of the government program of armament before 2015 that will make it possible for GRTs to produce competitive military and civilian products on a new organizational level.
Traditional principles of SRC activities are high performance level, novelty and reliability of designs, unconditional fulfillment of partnership obligations.
You are welcome to make use of SRC services on the basis of creative and mutually beneficial cooperation.
