CHRONOLOGY OF TOMILINO AEROSPACE RESEARCH
AND DEVELOPMENT CENTER, MOSKVA, USSR
INTRODUCTION
This report is a study of the chronological development
of the Tomilino Aerospace Research and Development
Center, Moskva, USSR (55-40N 037-56E). The center is
located in the Moskva suburb of Tomilino which is approxi-
mately 12 nautical miles (nm) southeast from the center of
Moskva and approximately 7.5 nm northwest of the Central
Aereohydrodynamic Institute (TsAGI) which is located in
the suburb of Ramenskoye (Figure 1). It is situated at the
intersection of the Moskva/Ryazan and the Moskva/Kazan
rail lines. Rail service to the center is supplied by rail
spurs from the Moskva/Kazan rail line. Other transporta-
tion services include a network of good all-weather roads.
The Center (Figures 2 and 3) has been assessed as
having the responsibility for designing, developing, testing,
and evaluating systems and subsytems for both spacecraft
and aircraft. The center is also a principal Soviet bioastro-
nautic research and training center.
A building-by-building construction history of the center
is presented graphically in Figure 3 and in tabular form in
Table 1 which also contains interpretations of the probable
functions of all the structures and comments on various
details of the chronology. The information contained in this
report has been compiled from all available and ground
photography. All item numbers mentioned in the text are
listed in Table 1 and keyed to Figure 3.

facilities located within the center. 1/ A laboratory building
(item 124) which contains a centrifuge and a horizontal
pressure bottle farm (item 113) have been added since
Three laboratory buildings (items 116, 120,
and 141) were observed in an early stage of construction at
this time. 1/ The report states that a thermobaro chamber

This photography revealed that many of the older

usable overhead photography of the center since
facilities first observed in 1943 had been removed and a
large number of new facilities had been completed or were
under construction. The most significant of these newly ob-
served facilities were a transformer yard (item 53), a shop
building (item 139), and a very large combination assembly
and shop building (item 20) which was in an early stage of
construction. The 3 laboratory buildings (items 116, 120,
and 141) first seen on ground photography of
had been completed.

There was little or no significant new construction ob-
served during the 2-year period from
photography of revealed several new
facilities under construction, which included a laboratory
building (item 112) and a shop building (item 19). Both the
laboratory building and the shop building were completed by

construction activity is the construction of a small building
