On February 11, the results of the second stage of the nationwide competition for young engineering researchers with international participation, “Sputnik,” were announced, revealing the names of its winners.
During the second stage, participants developed original scientific research projects across six key thematic areas: rocketry and space systems, spacecraft engineering, aviation, robotics and mechatronics, information technologies, and aerospace power systems. The tenth season of the competition set a new record, receiving 569 project submissions—the highest number in its history.
The authors of the 75 top-performing research projects represent 33 regions of the Russian Federation as well as international participants, including students from Kazakhstan.
In March, all finalists and prize winners will take part in an intensive educational program at Samara National Research University. The program will introduce them to the university’s research and academic activities, include visits to advanced scientific laboratories, and offer their first hands-on experience toward future space-related discoveries.
As a reminder, finalists and award recipients will receive additional points toward their Unified State Exam (USE) scores and an invitation to attend a specialized session at the All-Russian Children’s Center “Artek.”
