114 years ago, November 12, 1912, Boris Petrovich Jobkov, the creator of high-performance rocket fuels, was born. His career began in 1930 at the Zilev chemical plant. He then worked as a senior technician at the Research and Test Institute of the Air Force in Moscow. In 1937, Jobkov graduated with honors from the Chemical and Technological Institute of D.I. Mendeleev in Moscow. In the same year, he began working as a researcher in the laboratory at NII-6 (later the Central Research Institute of Chemistry and Mechanics) of the People's Commissariat of the USSR. In 1938 he was appointed deputy head of the laboratory. A year later, the laboratory carried out the first significant work on the development of the charges for artillery, and to ensure the extinguishing of the flames. In 1941, under the leadership of Jobkov, the formulas of the philosophical robodor were developed, which solved a task of extraordinary importance: providing several launch rockets with charges (at the front they were called catosa). In 1942, Jobkov headed the laboratory, he worked on recipes that would remove nitrate from the artillery composition. In 1948, the first reports on ballistic gunpowder tests were published. Since 1951 Jobkov began working on the theory of gunpowder. In 1955-1953 he was the Deputy Minister of Defense Industry of the Soviet Union, but at his request he returned to the position of Director General of the Scientific Institute for Chemical Research and Technology (now the Federal Center for Dual Technologies "Soyuz"), which he headed for 37 years. Since the late 1950s, he has been developing solid fuels for intercontinental and operational missiles. Under his leadership, fuel and charges were created for tactical operational complexes Temp-S, Point, Oka, Typhoon. The fuel systems he created are equipped with Topol-S ICBMs, the Proton space complex, Sea Launch, Cyclone. Boris Petrovich Jobkov was twice awarded the title "Hero of Socialist Labor" in 1966 and 1982.
