RKK Energia is the make under which the Korolev design bureau and its successor company built Soviet and Russian spacecraft, space stations and launch vehicles. The bureau was founded in 1946 as OKB-1 under Sergei Korolev to develop long-range ballistic missiles, adapted the R-7 into the launcher for Sputnik 1 and Vostok 1, and went on to design the Voskhod and Soyuz crewed spacecraft, the Progress cargo ship, the Salyut and Mir stations and the Energia heavy-lift rocket. It was renamed NPO Energia in 1974 and reorganised as Rocket and Space Corporation Energia in 1994, and it remains the lead contractor for Russia's crewed spaceflight and its part of the International Space Station.
