On March 1, the closing ceremony of the space profile finals took place in Moscow National Technology Olympiad (NTO), whose project office operates at the National Research University Higher School of Economics. The names of the winners and prize winners were announced in three areas at once: “Aerospace Systems”, “Analysis of Space Images and Geospatial Data” and “Satellite Systems”. The best were 21 schoolchildren from 13 regions of Russia. The competition was traditionally held with the support of the State Corporation “Roscosmos”.
Space profiles are among the very first in NTO, and their popularity and demand are only growing. This academic year, applications were submitted by about 4.5 thousand students of grades 8-11 from different parts of the country. However, only 90 participants made it to the final stage. The final competition and the closing ceremony took place within the walls of the university that organized the space profiles — RTU MIREA.
During the final tests, the participants in teams solved real engineering problems directly related to promising projects in the space industry. The schoolchildren developed a system for analyzing meteorological data to monitor the ice conditions in the northern seas and a satellite that simulates the solution of problems of remote sensing of the Earth. In addition, the finalists made attachments for the rover and programmed the control system.
The award ceremony was opened by RTU MIREA Rector Stanislav Kudzh: “We are not just holding the Olympiad, but are part of the Roscosmos network, are a strategic partner and train personnel for the corporation. I hope that among you there will be those who will enroll in our university, enroll in other leading universities. And you will continue to glorify our science and our country with your deeds.”
“Space is a huge source of inspiration,” emphasized Dmitry Zemtsov, executive secretary of the NTO organizing committee and HSE Vice-Rector, addressing the finalists. “We have always been inspired by the story of how 15-year-old Sergei Korolev joined a gliding club and, a few years later, found himself in one of the best universities in the country. Another ten years later, he began designing his own systems and eventually created our cosmonautics. All this became possible because from the very beginning he had access to the advanced technologies of his time — back then, gliders were at the cutting edge of progress. What you work with at NTO are not only the technologies of today, but also of tomorrow. Every time I go on stage to present diplomas, I feel sincere pride, because you will definitely make the world a better place and create technologies that previous generations could not even imagine.”
“Any Olympiad is, first of all, a competition. However, the most important victory is the ability to overcome yourself and achieve results,” said Dmitry Shishkin, Director of the Administrative Department of the Roscosmos State Corporation, at the closing ceremony. “No task that you will have to face in life can be solved instantly, without preparation. It is impossible to immediately take first place, assemble a satellite or obtain a space service. Therefore, the most important skill is to move forward steadily, step by step, without stopping. This is exactly what I wish for you. May your achievements of today and tomorrow be written in gold letters in the history of our cosmonautics and in the annals of the achievements of the entire country.”
According to the results of the competition in the individual standings, the winners of the profile “Analysis of space images and geospatial data” of the Scientific and Technical Organization were schoolchildren from the Municipal Budgetary Educational Institution “Lyceum No. 11” of Chelyabinsk: Artem Sufiyanov and Artem Yantsen.

Let us recall that the tasks of the space profiles were developed with the participation of partners: “Aerospace Systems” — Voltbro, the Institute of Mechanics of the Lomonosov Moscow State University and Intellect Design, “Analysis of Space Images and Geospatial Data” — the Institute of Environmental Design and Research, “Satellite Systems” — the Center for Space Education “Education of the Future”.
The jubilee tenth season of the NTO is taking place in the 2024/2025 academic year. Space profiles, being one of the first areas of the Olympiad, have trained a whole galaxy of young engineers over the years.
Evgeny Ivankin first took part in NTO in 2018/2019 in the profile on autonomous transport systems, and the following year he switched to the space track and became a prize winner in the profile “Analysis of space images and geospatial data”. After graduating from school, he successfully performed in the student track and became the winner of the profile “Geospatial digital twins”. The diploma of the school track of NTO helped Evgeny to enter the University of Innopolis without entrance examinations, and the victory in the student track – to get an internship at the company “Innogeotech”, where he transferred to a permanent position and develops geoinformation systems – a direction directly related to the profiles in which he won.
Another inspiring example is Alexey Gilenko, the winner of the Satellite Systems profile in NTO – 2022/2023. After winning, Alexey entered Bauman Moscow State Technical University, and then joined the team of organizers of his native profile. Now he works at the Education of the Future center and helps develop tasks for new participants.
Such stories show that the NTO is not just a competition, but a real platform for expanding the country’s technological human resources potential. The NTO is held under the coordination of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation together with the ANO “Russia – Land of Opportunities” with the support of the “Movement of the First”, the Agency for Strategic Initiatives and the ANO “NTI Platform”. The project office of the Olympiad is deployed at the HSE with the methodological support of the Association of Participants of Technological Circles (NTI Circle Movement). The organizing committee of the Olympiad is headed by the First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office of the Russian Federation Sergei Kiriyenko and Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Chernyshenko.
