NPO Applied Mechanics

30 satellites in orbit, 2 operating.

The count is the catalogue’s as of Nov 9, 2026, 12:17 PM; whether a satellite is operating is as Orbinauts writes it where it has written when the satellite’s mission ended, and otherwise as Jonathan McDowell’s general catalogue believes it, licensed CC BY 4.0: GCAT

NPO Applied Mechanics is how GCAT, Jonathan McDowell’s general catalogue (CC BY 4.0), names the organisation under the code NPOPM, of Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. This page gathers the satellites it flies and those of every organisation under it, each row naming the organisation that flies it. It is part of Ministry of General Machine Building. See every satellite of Ministry of General Machine Building.
