GENERAL OVERVIEW: "MIG" stands for Mikoyan and Gurevich - the design team of Artem Ivanovich Mikoyan and Mikhail Iosifovich Gurevich - who, at the invitation of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, founded the MIG Design Bureau on 8 December 1939. The bureau specializes in the design of fighter aircraft, and it garnered world renown with the advent of jet propulsion and the performance of its MIG-15 in the skies over Korea. There are currently more MIG-designed fighter aircraft in service with air forces throughout the world than any other type. MIG designs were also used for the AS-1, AS-2, AS-3, AS-4 and AS-5 large air-to-surface missiles in the 1950s and 1960s. Since 1990, events have forced the MIG firm to broaden its focus to include the design of jet trainer aircraft and medium range cargo transports.

GENERAL OVERVIEW: The Moscow Institute of Thermal Technology, previously one of the most secretive of Soviet design organizations, was responsible for design and development of land-based, road-mobile solid-propellant missiles. MITT is currently involved in developing and marketing the "START" space launch vehicle (SLV) based on ICBM technology for commercial gain.

OWNERSHIP: State-controlled
YEAR ESTABLISHED: Missile design bureau established in 1948; became an institute by the late 1950s/early 1960s.
MILITARY PRODUCT LINES: Design and development of solid-propellant ICBMs in the former Soviet Union.
CIVIL PRODUCT LINES: This facility--or people associated with including Yu. S. Solomonov--is developing the START (sometimes referred to as START-1) space launch vehicle in conjunction with at least the Houston-based Space Commerce Corporation. The START SLV, a three-stage, solid-propellant design reportedly developed in less than nine months and based on SS-20 IRBM/SS-25 ICBM technology, is designed for launching small commercial payloads into earth orbit.
KEY TECHNOLOGIES/EQUIPMENT EMPLOYED: The pilot production facility at MITT is not capable of producing an entire solid-propellant missile, but could do fitting and assembly of individual components. The Votkinsk Machine-Building Plant probably produced all of MITT's experimental missile designs. A dynamic test stand manufactured in England was assembled and tested by a German firm before installation at MITT. The computer center at MITT was equipped with several Soviet computers, including at least one SM-1045, one YES-1060, one or more SM-1420 computers, and several older computers equivalent to the SM-1420. Fortran, Pascal, and Assembler programming languages were acquired and installed in 1989/90. In 1989, MITT acquired 70 to 100 IBM XT-AT PCs with 3086 microprocessors. Training on the PCs was provided by Soviet-US joint enterprise.
CONVERSION PROJECTS: MITT advertises its START SLV as a product of conversion.
HUMAN RESOURCES SUPPORT: The main MITT building was a 12-story structure with two attached two-story wings. The MITT dining facility is three stories tall, modern, and can seat 1,000 people. MITT has a dedicated medical facility.
OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION: MITT was twice-awarded the Soviet Order of Lenin. MITT has longstanding ties with the Krasnoarmeysk Scientific Research Institute for Geodesy (NII-4); the Moscow Scientific Research Institute of Chemical Technology (NIKhTI); the Scientific Research Institute for Control Systems (NIISU); the Votkinsk Machine-Building Plant, and the Plesetsk Test Range.
