Biography
Born on May 8, 1926 in the city of Chern in the Tula Region.
During the Great Patriotic War, he worked in the rear, he entered the Moscow Energy Institute , in 1949 he graduated from the Radio Engineering Faculty of Moscow Power Engineering Institute . At the end of the university was enrolled in graduate school in the Department of Radiolocation (Radio engineering devices), MEI.
In 1953, a special decision of the USSR Higher and Secondary Specialized Education Ministry Golovkin from the graduate school was sent to the company PO Box 4120 - the Special Experimental Research Projects Sector under the Moscow Power Engineering Institute, which was headed by well-known Soviet scientists in the field of radio engineering Vladimir Kotelnikov and Alexey Fedorovich Bogomolov . In 1958, the institute was transformed into the Special Design Bureau of the Moscow Energy Institute ( OKB MEI ). In this design bureau, Anatoly Golovkin worked all his life, he was consistently a junior researcher, senior engineer, head of the laboratory, and head of the research department. In 1963, he defended his thesis for the degree of candidate of technical sciences.
In the OKB MEI, A. G. Golovkin took part as a responsible representative of the Chief Designer of the OKB in the development of the Istra station, the Indicator-D and RKT systems, and in their serial production at plant No. 304, as well as in the input to operation and transfer into service in the Armed Forces of the USSR . He headed the laboratory of ground-based trajectory measurements formed back in the Sector and as such became the leading developer and leader of the high-precision trajectory measurement stations Binocular and Binocular-D. He also supervised the manufacture and commissioning of these stations at the measuring points (PI) of the flight route of the R-7 missiles - from the launch pad of the Baikonur cosmodrome to the site of the rocket crash at the Kura test site (military unit No. 25522 , Klyuchi 1 areas ). To work at these stations, he prepared a large number of officers of the Soviet Army. Anatoly G. Golovkin made a great contribution to the work of measuring stations during the flight of the first Vostok-1 spacecraft piloted by Gagarin, as well as during subsequent manned flights of the Vostok and Voskhod spacecraft.
Then, in cooperation with A.G. Kuntsevsky Mechanical Plant. Golovkin led the development, manufacture and commissioning of new trajectory measurement stations Kama. Participated in the construction of the station "Katun" to control the trajectory of distant space objects based on a TNA-400 antenna in the city of Simferopol ; in the installation and operation of the Kama, Kama-A and Kama-M stations on the ships of the floating measuring complex of the TOGE-4 sea expedition (Pacific Hydrographic Expedition). As head of the ground stations department of trajectory measurements at OKB MEI, he headed the development of a coherent impulse station of trajectory measurements "Kama-IK" at the Lviv Radio Plant ; He was the head of the commissioning of these stations at the Sary-Shagan missile defense range in the area of Lake Balkhash .
Died March 9, 2001 in Moscow after a serious illness. The urn with its ashes was buried in Moscow, in the columbarium of the Vagankovsky cemetery (station No. 65). [one]
