Over the course of ten days, 68 talented schoolchildren and college students from all federal districts of Russia and 22 countries around the world traveled aboard the nuclear icebreaker 50 Let Pobedy along the route Murmansk – North Pole – Franz Josef Land – Murmansk. The voyage also made history as the 200th surface vessel expedition to the North Pole.
A rich scientific and educational program was organized on board for the participants of the Icebreaker of Knowledge expedition, including a real aerospace laboratory. As part of the expedition, participants, together with scientists, prepared and conducted two unique experiments: the launch of a radiosonde to support communications in remote Arctic areas and along Northern Sea Route shipping lanes, as well as a test of the world’s first returnable stratospheric platform for environmental monitoring. The platform was launched for the first time in the area of the Franz Josef Land archipelago, rose to an altitude of more than 15 km, traveled over 100 km, and successfully landed at a designated point on Hooker Island. After landing, the device was delivered back on board the nuclear icebreaker 50 Let Pobedy by the crew and inspectors of the Russian Arctic National Park.
“During Rosatom’s scientific and educational expedition Icebreaker of Knowledge, we managed to achieve the main goal — combining an educational program with a real scientific testing task. As a result of the experiment using the returnable stratospheric platform, meteorological data and video materials were obtained that will further help improve the efficiency of monitoring the Arctic and the Northern Sea Route. The uniqueness of the platform lies in the fact that it can be recovered, its flight path can be set, and it can be used repeatedly while preserving valuable payloads. Such experiments on a regular basis and with the necessary frequency are only possible with the participation of the Russian nuclear icebreaker fleet,” – said Anton Yurmanov, expert of the Icebreaker of Knowledge scientific and educational expedition, Vice-Rector for Research and Innovation at Murmansk Arctic University (MAU), and head of the high-latitude environmental monitoring system program using stratospheric platforms.
The expedition was dedicated to the Year of the Unity of the Peoples of Russia. To mark the occasion, a symbolic event took place at the North Pole — the northernmost and most international circle dance around the 90° point. It was held to a live performance by the music band AY YOLA from Bashkortostan.
