The M.V.Khrunichev State Research And Production Space Center (GKNPTs), headed by Director General Anatoly Kiselev was organized in 1993 on the basis of one of the largest machine- building works ehgaged in the production of space-rocket equipment - the M.V.Khrunichev Machine-Building Factory.

On April 30,1916, in Moscow, near the Intercession Church in Fili, the Russian-Baltic joint-stock company founded a plant for production of Russian automobiles, which in 1917 was named "The Second Russo-Balt Automobile Plant".

Later, the plant was given in concession to the German company "Junkers" and the first 50 Ju-20 airplanes were produced here. Since the mid-1920s, the development of the national aviation technics started. The ideas of the aircraft designer A.Tupolev and his disciples A.Arkhangelsky and A.Petlyakov were put into practice.

In August 1929, the fantastic flight Moscow - New York was undertaken on the TB-1 (ANT-4) plane, constructed on this plant. 20,000km were covered within 137 hours, what set up the world record in the flight speed for that time. In 1931-1935 the serial production of a 4-motor bomber TB-3 (ANT-6) was launched.

During the Great Patriotic War (World War II), the plant was adjusted to produce far range of bombers, such as IL-4, TU-2, that showed themselves best in the combats.

In the post-war period, the development and serial production of the 4-motor bomber Tu-4 "Flying Fortress" was started. It was the first to have a radiolocating equipment installed aboard. In 1951, the design office headed by V.Myasishchev was established in the plant, later named Salyut Design Bureau. In 1951 through 1960, it created the M-4 and 3M bombers, the latter also known abroad as "Bizon", and supersonic bomber and missile launcher M-50.
In 1960-1961, the plant has developed and produced the M-6 helicopter by the aircraft designer M.Mil.

Since 1960, the Salyut Design Bureau and the plant were reset to develop the space rocket equipment. Within over 40 years of the joint collaboration between the plant and the design office, have been created a family of intercontinental ballistic battle missles of the type UR-100, the Proton launch vehicle, orbital space stations and modules.
