Korolyov or Korolev ( ) is an industrial city in Moscow Oblast, Russia, well-known as the cradle of Soviet and Russian space exploration. It was originally founded as Kaliningrad ( ) in 1938 by Vasily Boldyrev, Naum Nosovsky, and Mikhail Loginov as the leading Soviet center for production of anti-tank and air-defense guns.

However, after World War II the artillery plant was reconstructed in 1946 for production of rockets, launch vehicles, and spacecraft under the guidance of Russian scientist and academician Sergei Korolyov. He envisioned, consolidated and guided the activities of many people in the Soviet space-exploration program. That plant later became known as RKK Energia, and in July 1996 the city was officially renamed in commemoration of Sergei Korolyov.

Mission Control Center ("Центр Управления Полетами", Tsentr Upravleniya Polyotami, "ЦУП" TsUP) is also located in Korolyov.

While the Vostok space vehicle was being developed this research centre was designated as NII-88 or POB 989.
