Korolev as the head and chief designer of the branch of Korolev’s OKB-1, created on June 4, 1959 in the closed administrative territorial entity of Krasnoyarsk-26 (now Zheleznogorsk), headed this enterprise for 36 years. The limited space of the article does not allow us to convey the full range and complexity of the scientific, technical and production problems that M.F. had to solve. Reshetnev and his colleagues in the creation of space systems, but can reflect significant milestones in the life of the scientist, reveal some aspects of his multifaceted activities, the results of which made a significant contribution to the modern scientific and technical history of Russia. The creative legacy left by M.F. Reshetnev and his associates, students, as well as the Siberian satellites operating in orbit, are rightfully called the national heritage of our country.
