He is known as one of the founders of Soviet missilery and cosmonautics, the chief constructor of the first Soviet Meteor weather satellites, and the father of electromechanics in USSR. Iosifyan is the founder and the first director of the All-Union Scientific Research Institute of Electromechanics (VNIIEM) – the USSR's largest scientific research institute of electromechanics.

Being one of the most outstanding figures in the field of military and rocket production, Andranik Iosifyan for about thirty years was the USSR's classified chief constructor of electrical equipment of ballistic rockets, nuclear submarines and spacecraft, including the R-7 Semyorka by Sergei Korolev and the Vostok spacecraft. One of Iosifyan's most important inventions, noncontact synchronized transmissions, considered a revolution in technology.[1][2][3]

Under the leadership of Iosifyan, practically the entire electrical part of the Soyuz spacecraft, automatic transport cargo ships of the Progress spacecraft and Salyut and Mir space stations were developed.[4]

Sergei Korolev called him the "chief electrician" of missile technology.[5][6]
