Barmin completed his engineering degree at the Bauman MVTU (Moscow Higher Technical University) in 1935 and began work in the Kompresor Factory. By 1941 he was head of the design bureau that designed the Katyusha barrage rocket system that was used by Soviet forces to great effect in World War II. After the war he was assigned to develop the launch equipment for the Russian copies of German missiles. He went on to become the pre-eminent Soviet designer of rocket mobile launchers, fixed launch complexes, and missile silos. This culminated in the design and construction of the immense facilities for launch of the N1 and Energia super-boosters at Baikonur. Barmin also supervised design of the planned Soviet lunar base until that project was terminated in 1974. He received innumerable awards and decorations for his service to the Soviet Union in the missile and space race, and was named an Academician of the Academy of Sciences in 1966.
