and
These entities are main contractors, sub-contractors, major component suppliers,
design institutes and production plants. This list excludes most academic
research institutes and users of space data. Only Russian or Russian owned
business are listed here. As time passes the list becomes out of date, organizations
close, merge, etc. Many of the listed entities have been moving to more consumer
industry, so take the list with a grain of salt.
Where Russian names are popularly known they are used otherwise translations are used.
