Reactive Scientific Research Institute (commonly known by the joint initialism RNII; Russian: Реактивный научно-исследовательский институт, romanized: Reaktivnyy nauchno-issledovatel’skiy institut)[note 1] was one of the first Soviet research and development institutions to focus on rocket technology. RNII developed the Katyusha rocket launcher[2] and its research and development were very important for later achievements of the Soviet rocket and space programs.
