“Jupiter” factory of Pripyat is a legend. According to the official version they used to make details of cassette recorders and other minor parts, but most of its shops made absolutely different products. In the conditions of high secrecy on the territory of “Jupiter” they were developing and assembling military computers and “black boxes”, those products were mysteriously named “Product â„–”. Even today it is still not known for sure what aggregates came here off the assembly line. We can only say most of them were used for military submarines, fighters and even in space industry.
Dimensions of the factory are impressive. While absolute majority of the Pripyat population were working at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, the remaining most were employed by this factory. “Jupiter” had been functioning until the moment when power generation was fully stopped at the Chernobyl NPP. It was the main source of power for the factory.
Today it is fully abandoned and still being plundered. As far as it was left by people not so long ago it still has many Soviet machines, devices and other stuff.
The building to the left is a canteen, to the right is an administration building also accomodating the service of special engineering works.
The highest building on the territory.
Let’s get inside…
There are many posters reminding people of the still small voice and labor necessity.
The room with sound insulation. Probably they made acoustic testing of devices here.
