Soviet aerospace design bureau
V. M. Myasishchev Experimental Design Bureau (Экспериментальный Машиностроительный Завод им. В. М. Мясищева) or OKB-23 , founded in 1951 by MGB UdSSR Vladimir Myasishchev , was one of the chief Soviet aerospace design bureaus until its dissolution in 1960. Vladimir Myasishchev went on to head TsAGI . In 1967, Myasishchev left TsAGI and recreated his bureau, which still exists to this day. The bureau prefix was "M." As of 2003[update] NPO Molniya intend to use the V-MT or M-55 as launch vehicle for sub-orbital spaceflight .[ 1]
In July 2014, the merger of Myasishchev and Ilyushin to create a single modern production complex was announced by the Board of Directors of OAO Il.[ 2] [ 3]
