    Event context

    TsSKB-Progress (formed 1996) was subsequently renamed "Rocket and Space Centre Progress" / Progress Rocket Space Centre, its current designation. Available secondary sources (Wikipedia, GlobalSecurity.org) confirm the rename occurred but do not give a precise day/month; a year-level anchor of 2014 is used as an approximate placeholder pending a more precise primary source (e.g. official charter amendment date), and this event is marked "inferred" confidence accordingly. A data steward should verify the exact rename date against Russian corporate registry records if higher precision is required.
