Kozlov, Dmitri Ilyich
Kozlov
Kozlov
Russian Chief Designer. Lead Designer for the R-7 ICBM, then headed Samara bureau for production engineering for the Soyuz rocket, Zenit and Yantar reconnaissance satellites.

Born: 1919-10-01. Died: 2009-03-07.

Kozlov was Lead Designer for the R-7. He was then tasked with putting the world's first ICBM into production at the Progress Aircraft Factory in Kuibyshev (Samara). For that purpose he was made head of the Production Engineering Section 25 of Korolev's bureau on 23 July 1959. In 1960 Kozlov's Samara office was renamed Filial 3 of OKB-1 and took over design responsibility for all future derivatives of the R-7 rocket.

In 1964 Korolev spun off to Kozlov the same responsibilities for the Zenit photo-reconnaissance satellites and military versions of the Soyuz. Interference from headquarters led to the Kozlov giving up Soyuz versions in 1968. In 1974, with the cancellation of the N1 project and the dissolution of TsKBEM, Kozlov was given complete independence as the Central Specialized Design Bureau (TsSKB). He had been offered the post of head of the new NPO Energia but preferred to remain in Samara. There he became the pre-eminent supplier of reliable optical reconnaissance satellites and launch vehicles for the Soviet military. He later expanded into new areas of unmanned satellite design in the 1980's.
