REFTELS: REQUEST FORM #04210017; DATED 6/04/2009
1. Unauthorized disclosure of the information provided below is
prohibited by Section 12C of the Export Administration Act.
2. Reftel requested a post-shipment verification to determine the
legitimacy and reliability of the end-user, AKNIIPO ANO, Moscow,
Russia. The company is listed on BIS license applications: NLR as
the ultimate consignee of forty eight electronic integrated circuits
and micro assemblies, digital field programmable gate arrays,
product no:APA450-PQ2081. These items are controlled for national
security, missile technology, nuclear non-proliferation and
anti-terrorism reasons under ECCN 3A001. The licensee is Actel
Corporation, 2061 Stierlin CT, Mountain View, CA.
3. On July 29, 2009, Export Control Attach Peter Liston and LES
Natalya Shipitsina conducted the requested post-shipment
verification at the offices of AKNIIPO ANO (Aerospace Scientific and
Research Test Industrial Company, Automated Non-Commercial
Organization),5, Aviatsionny Pereulok, Moscow, Russia. The export
control team met with Dmitry Kholomkin, General Director and Pavel
Turikin, Department Head.
4. AKNIIPO ANO was created in 2001, when three companies,
Rocket-Space Corporation Energy, Holding Company Aviapribor and
Russian Scientific Research Institute Electrostandart, joined
together. It has 60 full time employees and approximately 300 under
various contracts for special projects.
5. AKNIIPO ANO is licensed by the Russian government to produce and
develop various finished components for space exploration projects.
6. The commodities in reftel were purchased by AKNIIPO ANO for use
in a joint space exploration project with NASA involving the
Fobos-Grunt mission. The missionQs objectives are to collect soil
samples from Fobos, a moon of mars and to bring the samples back to
Earth for comprehensive scientific research into Fobos, Mars and
Martian space.
7. The commodities in reftel were not located in the consigneeQs
facility because they have already been placed onboard the Russian
launch vehicle that is scheduled for an October launch. The
commodities do appear to be being used for the end use for which
they were licensed. There were no indications of impropriety and the
consigneeQs answers were not evasive.
8. Recommendations: Post recommends AKNIIPO ANO, Moscow, Russia, as
a reliable recipient of sensitive U.S. origin commodities.
