This chapter discusses Vladimir Nikolayevich Chelomey who developed Proton, the main competitor of the European launcher Ariane. It also explains his subsidiaries in more detail. Chelomey took over GSNII‐642 on December 6, 1957. By order of decree 293‐140 of March 8, 1958, the NII‐642 was transformed into a subsidiary of OKB‐52 for designing Navy missile guidance systems. The company was then restructured and several laboratories were created: complex tests, gyroscopic devices and autopilot systems. In 1961, following the merger with V. M. Myasishchev's OKB‐23, designer G. I. Arkhangelsky's group moved into the NII‐642 premises to develop rocket launch installations. Myasishchev's OKB‐23 was opened on March 24, 1951 to develop a strategic reaction bomber. This was in partnership with the Fili factory no. 23 in Moscow. In 1923, the German company Junkers was producing the Ju‐20 aircraft in this factory under a licensing agreement.
