A new production building of the Research Institute of Mechanical Engineering (NIIMash) has started operating in the Sverdlovsk Region. The site was launched in Nizhnyaya Salda on February 11, and investments in the project exceeded 1.5 billion rubles.
The new production facility has launched the production of small propulsion systems and fuel tanks for satellite systems. The company will manufacture tanks with a volume of 3 to 500 liters for various types of spacecraft.
The Governor of the Sverdlovsk Region, Denis Pasler, noted that the next stage of technical re-equipment confirmed the long-term plans of NIIMash.
A highly professional team, based on scientific developments, reliably provides the most important industry in Russia with high-quality equipment.
To equip the site, more than 200 units of technological and engineering equipment were purchased and installed. The new capacities will expand the range of products and increase the volume of serial production.
JSC "NIIMash" is part of Roscosmos and specializes in the production of small thrust rocket engines for controlling the flight of spacecraft. In December 2025, the company created a new liquid rocket engine with a thrust of 13.3 N (1.36 kgf).
