      • The Main Artillery Range was founded in 1854 on Volkovo Field and began operating on Okhta Field near Rzhevka in 1879.
      • At the turn of the 19th–20th centuries a complex of the Main Artillery and Naval Ranges was built on Kovalevskaya Street; the assembly building is No. 16.
      • The range covers 740 km²: guns, armour, rocket artillery and rocket engines were tested on it.
      • In 1928–1933 the Gas Dynamics Laboratory worked at the range — one of the cradles of Soviet rocketry.
      • The street was named in the early 1910s after the State Council member M. E. Kovalevsky, trustee of the neighbouring colony for juvenile offenders.
