HistoryEdit

The company was founded in 1937 as OKB-301, a Soviet aircraft design bureau (OKB). The head designer was Template:Ill, supported by Template:Ill and Semyon Lavochkin. In October 1945 Lavochkin was promoted for the head designer of the design bureau. The bureau gained distinction for its family of piston-engined fighter aircraft during World War II, and later shifted to missile and jet fighter designs. Following the death of the head designer, the OKB-301 succumbed to the growing power of Vladimir Chelomey and became OKB-52 Branch No. 3 on 18 December 1962.<ref name=siddiqi2000>Template:Cite book</ref>Template:Rp Later, it turned to work on interplanetary probe designs for Luna sample return program, the Lunokhod program, Vega program, Phobos program, etc. The former OKB-301 became named NPO Lavochkin.
