One of the largest domestic producers of integrated circuits for space OJSC "NIIME and Mikron" has developed a detail that will replace the foreign analogues. New microchips resistant to radiation. Developed by the Zelenograd enterprise detail will use navigation satellites of the third generation "GLONASS-K" ("Global Navigation Satellite System").

Products of "Mikron" has successfully replaced foreign counterparts. Launch satellites with new components will take place sometime in the beginning of 2018 year. This electronic component base successfully passed the inspection, after that it was recommended to use. Produced by Zelenograd`s "Mikron" microchips will be used in blocks, which are designed to work with information and communication.

Thanks to the sanctions of the EU, the company is engaged in the development of elementary base for satellites "GLONASS-K", because the restrictions apply to the supply of electronic components.

The General plan of import substitution of electronics for space application was agreed by the aerospace industry in the spring of 2015 year.
