Reshetnev

Reshetnev commonly refers to Reshetnev Information Satellite Systems (ISS Reshetnev), a major Russian satellite designer and manufacturer. The organization is named after Mikhail G. Reshetnev, a Soviet engineer who played a leading role in the development of early space systems and satellites.

Headquartered in Zheleznogorsk, Krasnoyarsk Krai, the bureau traces its origins to the Soviet space program and operates within Russia’s state space corporation Roscosmos. It focuses on the design, development, production, and testing of spacecraft, satellite platforms, payloads, and related systems for civil, scientific, and military applications.

Among its notable outputs are GLONASS navigation satellites, as well as various communications, remote sensing, and scientific orbiters. The company provides end-to-end services from initial concept through integration and qualification testing to final production, and it collaborates with other Russian institutes and manufacturers.

Name recognition stems from its role as a leading contributor to Russia’s space infrastructure. By maintaining expertise in satellite buses and subsystems, ISS Reshetnev supports both national programs and international partnerships, contributing to a broad range of spaceborne platforms and missions.
