Decades of conducting on-board and ground-based equipment development and information support have made NII TP a unique enterprise
Joint-Stock Company “Research Institute of Precision Instruments” (JSC “RIPI”) brings together professional developers and manufacturers of various radio engineering and software-hardware products. Today the abbreviation of the RIPI means skills and proficiency of our scientists, engineers and workers to design and manufacture various radio engineering equipment and software-hardware complexes that meet the highest requirements of the Russian aerospace industry.
We produce diverse hardware, which essentially supplements functionality of humans through constantly raising the intellectual level of its employees and modernizing facilities with emerging and advanced technologies.
We are good at producing various electronic instruments such as antennas, transmitters, receivers and computing facilities. Using these devices, we produce sophisticated hardware and software complexes. We have learnt to process high-rate information flows, which circulate in produced devices and complexes, using innovative methods of information security control.

RIPI history
1952
The Research Institute of Precision Instruments (RIPI) (NII-648) was set up under the USSR Council of Ministers’ Decree #1662-606 of 4 April 1952 on the base of #499 plant in the city of Babushkin, located in the Moscow suburb
1958
The NII-648 team of engineers and scientists developed the first ever command radio link “MRV-2M-BPU-DP” for the third Soviet artificial satellite
1961
The NII-648 specialists developed and produced the modernized radio command link “MRV-2M-BPU-DP”, which provided the flight of the first cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin in the “Vostok” spacecraft on April 12, 1961
1965
The NII-648 began work on integrating the hybrid microcircuits into the space hardware
