TsAGI

TsAGI

TsAGI is a transliteration of the Russian abbreviation for Центра́льный аэрогидродинами́ческий институ́т ("ЦАГИ") or "Tsentralniy Aerogidrodinamicheskiy Institut", the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute. It was founded in Moscow by the pioneer of Russian aviation, Nikolai Yegorovich Zhukovsky on December 1, 1918 in Moscow.

In 1935 it is relocated (although not completely) to the city of Zhukovsky, Moscow Oblast. The Moscow branch of the institute is currently known as MAGI, or Moscow complex of TsAGI.

It is roughly the equivalent to some of United States' NACA and NASA programs.

Among its latest developments are the rocket Energiya and the Space Shuttle Buran.
