Today, we are pleased to announce our new partner - SmirnovDesign which is part of the Smirnov Product Development Group, along with Smirnov Technology and Yellow Mountain.

This new partnership will support and enhance further work on our Selenokhod lunar rover. SmirnovDesign will allow our team to optimize rover fabrication, while ensuring that the final design is very visually appealing and extremely functional as well.

SmirnovDesign began in 1994 with the development and production of a series of electrical products. These products have been very successful and soon propelled this enterprise into a market leadership position in Russia.

SmirnovDesign's team of design professionals and development engineers has demonstrated its skillful approach, creativity and technical competency on numerous occasions. Its list of multinational clients include leading consumer, industrial, medical device and high-tech companies - large and small.

For example, SmirnovDesign has engaged in the design process for a small dispenser for mint sweets for UK-based MARS, and double-deck carriages for Canada-based BOMBARDIER. It performed design research and trendspotting for South Korea - based SAMSUNG and LG as well as engineered stadium seats for Russia-based INTEKO.

Superior design is the hallmark of all work done by the SmirnovDesign company.

"We welcome SmirnovDesign as our chief design partner. Now, we are excited and poised to make some quantum leaps forward," – said Nikolay Dzis-Voinarovskiy, Selenokhod CEO.

"It is a great honor for our company to join Selenokhod as the only Russian team in this new Moon race. Everyone will be very impressed by the cool mix of innovative approaches to system design that will soon emerge from our team in partnership with Selenokhod’s engineers," – said Sergey Smirnov, the head of SmirnovDesign company.
