The history of the national ICT: 115 years of Andronicus Josepheanwar Chacin | 04.07.2020
In July 2020 marks 115 years since the birth of Andronicus Gevondovich of iosifian (1905 – 1993) – major scientist in the field of electrical engineering, the founder of the Soviet school of electrical engineering,
doctor of technical Sciences (1940), Professor (1941), academician of the Academy of Sciences of Armenia (1950), the chief designer of the satellite “meteor”.
Born 8 (21) July 1905
year in the village Zakaah (Nagorno Karabakh) in a family of teachers. At the age of 17 enlisted in the red army, at the age of 20 he graduated from technical school and in 1925 entered the Baku Polytechnic Institute, from which he graduated
in 1929.
Since 1929 worked as an assistant in the same Institute, and in 1931 moved to Moscow and was accepted to the all-Russian electrotechnical Institute (VEI). Here he set up a laboratory military
electrical engineering. Its patron was Marshal Tukhachevsky. In the laboratory was involved in unique projects.
In 1936 Iosifyan was granted copyright certificate No. 18294 on one of his most important inventions of the pre-war years – contactless rotary. The right to manufacture of contactless synchro
bought in the same year, the United States, England, France, Germany and Italy.
Until now, contactless rotary is an integral part of servo drive and automatic control system in many machine designs. During the great Patriotic war of contactless
selsyns were used in control systems artillery fire, in radar, aircraft, etc.
In 1941 at his disposal was transferred to a small plant for production of the developed remote-controlled small tankettes, designed to undermine the enemy tanks. So there
scientific-industrial organization-factory No. 627 with Professor A. G. Iosifian as Director.
A few years A. G. iosifian appointed chief designer of onboard electrical equipment missiles, and in 1959, factory No. 627 was reorganized into all-Union scientific-research Institute
electromechanics (VNIIEM, now the Corporation VNIIEM them. A. G. iosifian, which is part of the Russian space Agency).
Iosifyan headed the work on creation of onboard electrical equipment for missile systems, starting with copies of the German rockets V-1 and V-2. Then followed the same work to create
the first Soviet Intercontinental ballistic missile R-7.
Further equipment of the world first Soviet Sputnik, the world’s first manned spacecraft. Since 1959 he was the chief designer for the development of onboard electrical equipment
space systems, a member of the Council of Chief designers.
In the early 50’s in Vniimi on the initiative of Iosifyan was created one of the first in the USSR digital compact electronic computer In a-3, which had subsequently worked in the system
automation of nuclear power plants (NPP). Then on new element base, were created IN a computer-3M, b-7, b-10.
In Unieme has also developed a system of complex automation of Leningrad as a ROCK at the base of the computer IN 3M, which was later implemented at all as with the RBMK-1000 reactor. In 1956 A. Iosifyan
with S. Melelana founded the Institute of mathematical machines in Yerevan.
In the 1960-ies A. G. Iosifyan headed the work on creation of the artificial Earth satellites (AES) for meteorological purposes. The first was the experimental “Cosmos-122” in 1966, then became
run many “Meteors” (he is the chief designer of satellites in this series) and their modifications. Only by 1973 was running 30 of these satellites, and by the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union – 75.
In 1973 he was removed from the leadership Institute. Until 1982 – supervisor of a pilot plant of VNIIEM. Since 1982 – Director and chief designer of the scientific research
design Bureau Academy of Sciences of the Armenian SSR.
A. G. iosifian – powerful Creator of the Russian scientific school in the field of electromechanics. Author of about 250 scientific papers and 30 inventions. More materials on it you can see on the website
