Key Developments

The NII TP team is working on the creation of modern communication systems (project "Gonets"), the organization of an information and control circuit of modern Earth remote sensing systems, and is developing aircraft and space-based radar Earth observation systems.

NII TP has developed technical and software tools of the Unified Geographically Distributed Information System for Remote Sensing of the Earth (UGDIS ERS). It makes it possible to significantly increase the efficiency of providing information to the remote control and information products based on it to a wide range of consumers.

The company continues to work on the creation of a high-detail Kasatka-R radar complex for the Vzod-R spacecraft in the version of an active phased antenna array. The capabilities of the radar will allow around the clock and regardless of weather conditions to conduct radar shooting of the planet's surface in the X-band in the interests of ministries, departments and regions of Russia.

Specialists of the Research Institute of Technology are completing work on the creation of an automated command and measurement system for a new generation of spacecraft control "Comparus." The system will provide orbital grouping control with a capacity of up to 120 control sessions per day.

As part of the development of the Russian Space Systems holding, the company has formed and operates an industry competence center for the development and manufacture of space equipment based on the technology of low-temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC).

History

JSC "Research Institute of Precision Instruments" (NII TP, part of the holding "Russian Space Systems") in April 2017 celebrates its 65th anniversary. Since 1952, the development of the enterprise has been one of the most important elements in the implementation of Soviet and Russian space programs and projects. The success of NII TP in the field of creating systems for mutual measurements, automated systems for controlling spacecraft and processing received information, as well as work in the field of LTCC technologies significantly increases the potential of Russian space instrumentation.

The history of the company began on April 4, 1952, when a NII-648 was formed at the site of plant No. 449 in Babushkin near Moscow to develop and manufacture radio control channels for missiles. Since 1956, the creation of command radio links and radio systems for docking spacecraft began. In April 1966, it NII-648 renamed the Research Institute of Precision Instruments (NII TP).

The company's developments have become one of the most important elements of the implementation of domestic space programs and projects. The world's first automatic docking of the Cosmos-186 and Cosmos-188 spacecraft was successfully carried out in 1967 using Igla radio equipment developed by the Research Institute of Technical Research.

From that moment on, all domestic manned programs are provided by systems of mutual measurements (VSI) created at NII TP. The second-generation SVI "Course" successfully operates under the ISS program, with its help more than a thousand docks have already been made. The system is constantly being modernized taking into account the latest technologies and developments. Today, under the program of manned flights to the Moon to equip a promising transport ship, specialists from the Research Institute of Technology have begun developing the Kurs-LA SVI.
