The Progress Rocket Space Centre, commonly known as RKTs Progress, is a Russian joint-stock company under Roscosmos based in Samara. It is responsible for building and operating the Soyuz family of rockets, which serve as the primary launch vehicles of the Russian space programme. The company traces its origins to State Aviation Factory No. 1, evacuated from Moscow to Kuibyshev, now Samara, in October 1941, where the Progress factory built Ilyushin Il-2 and Il-10 aircraft and Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-3 fighters during the Second World War. On 2 January 1958 the USSR Council of Ministers approved converting the factory to mass-produce the R-7 missile, and the first R-7 built there was test fired on 17 February 1959. A branch of Sergei Korolev's OKB-1 opened in Samara in 1959 and became the independent Central Specialized Design Bureau, TsSKB, in 1974; TsSKB and the factory merged in 1996 to form TsSKB-Progress, later renamed Rocket and Space Centre Progress. Since 1961 all launches of Soviet and Russian crewed spacecraft have used Progress-built rockets, and the company has also developed satellites including the Zenit, Bion, Foton and Resurs-P series.
