history

The company was founded in 1959 as Branch 2 of Sergei Koroljows experimental design office OKB-1 (today RKK Energija ). A closed city near Krasnoyarsk , which was given the code name Krasnoyarsk-26 , was chosen as the location . The first chief designer was Mikhail Reshetnev , and as usual, the name of the manager was used for the entire plant.

On December 18, 1961, the previous OKB-1 branch under the name OKB-10 became its own design office. The first developments were the Kosmos 3 rocket and Strela military communications satellites . The maiden flight of Kosmos 3 with three Strela satellites took place on August 18, 1964 from Baikonur .

On March 6, 1966, OKB-10 was renamed NPO Prikladnoj Mechaniki ( Scientific-Producing Association for Technical Mechanics ), often abbreviated as NPO PM .

Many different types of satellites were developed in the following years, including:

  • Molnija , communications and television satellites in elliptical orbit
  • Sfera , Earth Surveying Satellite
  • Raduga , Gorisont , geostationary communications satellites
  • GLONASS , navigation satellite
