For 2014 Federal State Unitary Enterprise TsENKI branch - "CB Motor - head enterprise on creation hoisting-and-transport and Mehano technology equipment of space-rocket complexes, etc.

Assets

For 2014 the structure of Federal State Unitary Enterprise TsENKI branch - "CB Motor:

• The Motor design office created in 1961 in the territory of the Moscow plant "Mashinostroyetel" as special developmental bureau of the transport and connection equipment (SOKB);

• The developmental bureau "Vympel" which began the activity in 1963 as Branch 2 OKB-52, after a number of conversions of experimental design bureau of the aircraft equipment. 

For 2014 the advanced technology equipment - high-performance machines allows to solve major production problems with numerical control, installations of automatic gas-plasma cutting of metal. The areas of the assembly shop are increased, upgrade is performed and the hi-tech equipment on galvanic and electromechanical sections is implemented that allowed to increase significantly labor productivity, to increase quality of products.

Achievements

For more than half a century of work in the space-rocket industry more than 30 technical complexes for carrier rockets and spacecrafts are created. Thanks to the unique technical solutions put in constructions of a number of systems and units of a starting complex of the JSC "Proton" rocket and in 2014 preparation for start-up of all its modifications is provided.

With participation of specialists of branch within the Federal space program of Russia such national projects as "Proton-M", Yamal, Express, Rokot, Meteor, Metope, "the Union of the 2-1st", Frigate, "Briz-M", "DM", "GLONASS" were implemented.

In the field of the international cooperation and implementation of commercial projects active work on preparation and carrying out the spacecrafts "ISS", "Iridium", "Astra", "Panamsat", "Telstar", "Direk-TV", "Intelsat", "Amos", "IRS-Skipper", "Bramos" starts is carried out.

Participation in the joint space program of Russia and France "The union in GKTs" became the most volume and significant work in the 2000th years. Specialists of branch design all complex of ground technology equipment for start of commercial satellites from the spaceport in the Guiana Space Center (GSC).

Many developments of the enterprise are unique on the technical solutions and are defining in development of the whole class of the special equipment. On a number of samples of special equipment employees of branch take out 885 copyright certificates and 57 patents.

By 2014 for more than semicentennial history of work in the space-rocket industry the staff of the enterprise designed, made and put into operation over 1500 names of machines and sets of technology equipment for the majority of the space-rocket complexes created in the USSR. Among them there is a family of heavy-load transport and overload and transport and installation units with providing a beskranovy overload of large-size components of missile systems from the railway and air transportation, transport and connection isothermal machines, sets of the mounting and connection equipment, means of service and the lifting equipment for assembly of carrier rockets and spacecrafts, the different types of the protected cable entries for launching units and command posts which became legendary on reliability and duration of service life.

History

1918: Creation of the Mashinostroyetel plant

The history of the Mashinostroyetel plant originates since 1918 when based on the nationalized reinforcing institution the state enterprise was created. The iron and steel casting, trolleys, different types of winches, Komsomol member excavators and MG-0.35 were main types of products, besides the plant released a batch of all-terrain vehicles for the Red Army.

From 1940 to 1951 the Mashinostroyetel plant was under Narkomat's authority of means of communication, released armor-piercing shells, mines, head parts of rocket shells for Katyushas and repaired different types of military equipment.

In the 1950th years the enterprise masters release of truck cranes with a loading capacity of 3 t and more than 20 types of the equipment for construction of the subway. In a subsequent period production capacities of the plant provided release, along with civil products, the equipment for the first space missile systems.

1961: Creation of CB

The order of the Chairman of the State Committee of Council of Ministers of the USSR on defense equipment No. 132 of April 7, 1961 in the territory of the Mashinostroyetel plant created Special developmental bureau which received afterwards the name Motor Design office.

2008: Accession of CB to TsENKI

The decree of the Russian President of December 16, 2008 No. 1784 of Federal State Unitary Enterprise Center of Operation of Objects of Land Space Infrastructure reorganizes in the form of accession of a number of federal state unitary enterprise to it, including CB Motor.

2009: The experimental design bureau Pennant joins CB Motor

In December, 2009 Federal State Unitary Enterprise TsENKI branch - "CB Motor was in turn reorganized in the form of accession of the Pennant branch FGUP "TsENKI"-"OKB to it".

Core activities of CB Motor from the moment of education are:

• accomplishment of research and ROC in the field of creation of a ground equipment of space-rocket complexes;
• production, installation and tests transport and technology and Mehano technology equipment, load-lifting means and devices for land preparation of different types of carrier rockets and spacecrafts;
• ensuring operation and modernization of objects of land infrastructure of the spaceports "Baikonur", "Plesetsk", including designer's and warranty service, prolongation of lives of the equipment.

With direct participation of CB Motor the rocket transport systems and means of service for MRKK "Energia-Buran", the equipment of technical and starting complexes Union, "H-1", JSC "Proton" were created.

Thanks to the considerable amount of works which is carried out on designer's and warranty service, prolongation of lives, the majority of the listed types of the equipment created in Motor Design office find application by preparation of space-rocket complexes of new generation so far.

In the 2000th years at the enterprise sets of transport technology equipment for the complexes "Angara", "Union in GKTs" and others are created.

For 2014 one of the major tasks facing today the enterprise of Federal State Unitary Enterprise TSENKI"-" branch of CB Motor is a training of highly qualified engineering personnel for design departments and production divisions is solved based on created at the enterprise in 1984. Educational scientific-industrial complex "MADI-Motor" together with department of Tractors and amphibious machines of the Moscow automobile and road institute.

In 2014 staff of Federal State Unitary Enterprise TsENKI branch - "CB Motor tensely works on accomplishment of the Federal space program of Russia and also works on a number of other projects for ROSATOM State Corporation, etc.
