Open joint-stock company
Research-and-production association
"NAUKA"
Open joint-stock company Research-and-production association “NAUKA” (OJC RPA “Nauka”) is considered to be the leader in creating air conditioning, life-support systems and their units for aircraft and space engineering.
The staff of the company consists of highly qualified specialists practically experienced in heat-mass exchange, gas-dynamics, physicochemical processes, mechanics, pneumo- and relay ladder logic systems, technology and production.
The structure of OJC RPA “Nauka” provides the persistent creation including elaboration, production of development types, certificate testing, production of unit systems on demands of home and foreign customers. The unique test basis gives wide opportunities for research and tests of systems and products in maximum close to real exploitation conditions.
Practically all Russian aircrafts and manned space objects are supplied with systems and products by OJC RPA
"Nauka".
The design office (DO) founded in 1940 is one of the first modular design collectives of the aviation industry in Russia.
Specializing on aviation radiators release, it has provided the violently developing aviation with domestically produced units and in the shortest terms has released Russian aviation from foreign dependence.
Since late 50-s the DO specialists have started development of air-conditioning systems and automatic pressure control systems for aircrafts and helicopters. These systems are successfully used on the following aircrafts: Tu-134, Tu-154, Il-62, Il-86, Il-76, An-22, An-124, An-225 and some others. In recent years the air-conditioning systems for TU-204, Tu-334, Il-96, Il-114, An-140 and some others are created, in which new engineering solutions are used. Among them are: 3-wheeled turbo-cooler on gas supports, moisture upset on high pressure line and moisture recovery for heat exchange stimulation, modular construction, etc.
With development of rocket and especially space technologies the DO research area has enormously widened. The DO started creating temperature control, gas makeup support, pressure control and water supply systems for space ships. We are proud of the fact that the fist manned spaceship “Vostok” for the first time in the world history had been equipped with the complex life-support systems created by the specialists of our enterprise.
The systems and units of this complex have proved to be worth being used. That’s why their mode of functioning is used in the similar systems and units developed for the posterior space objects such as: “Voskhod”, “Sojuz”, “Salut”, “Progress”, “Mir”, “Almaz”, “Luna”, “Mars’, “Venera”, cargo and service modules for ISS, etc.
The most complicated systems using new engineering solutions based on aircraft and space construction experience have been developed for spaceship “Buran”.
The complex life-support systems providing comfortable life conditions inside special ground-based vehicles, including the conditions of total isolation, have been developed. Such vehicles have been successfully exploited during the Chernobyl nuclear power station breakdown elimination.
Nowadays more than 7000 articles have been developed, produced, tested and are being under testing by OJC RPA “Nauka”. Our products are produced at 48 production plants. More than 250 000 articles developed by “Nauka” are being exploited nowadays.
