Rocket production

In December 1947, a decision was made to establish SKB No. 385 as part of the plant, later - the Mechanical Engineering Design Bureau, and now - JSC "State Missile Center named after Academician V.P. Makeev" (see Makeyev Rocket Design Bureau) and in 1953 the production of tactical missiles 8A61 and 8K11 began (R-11 and R-11M) according to the OKB-1 documentation, headed by S.P.Korolev.

In 1959, the first ballistic missile of submarines R-11FM developed by OKB-1 was put into service with the navy. In 1963, testing was completed and the first ballistic missile of submarines with an underwater launch R-21 was put into service with the Navy.

In 1967, for the first time in the world, a R-27 liquid-propellant rocket filled at the manufacturing plant and ampouled was sent from the plant, for which a detached ampulization-filling complex (chemical plant) was specially built. In 1974, the R-27U SLBM with a multiple warhead of the dispersing type was put into service. In the future, all ballistic missiles that are or were in service with the navy were manufactured and underwent experimental design testing at the Zlatoust Machine-Building Plant.

The enterprise took part in well-known space programs. Manufactured brake propulsion systems for the Vostok, Voskhod, Soyuz spacecraft (1961-1980), components and assemblies for the "Buran programme" complex (1983-1988), rigging and non-standardized equipment for the launch complex "Baikonur" (1983-1988).

In the 1960s, the plant completely reoriented itself to the production of rocket and space technology and became the main base enterprise for the production of rocket technology, developed by the JSC "Design Bureau named after Academician V. P. Makeev". In 1960, the first production buildings of facility No. 3 were put into operation in the city of Miass, where hull production was organized (since 1992, the Miass Machine-Building Plant).
