Infinit (Softline Group) has supported the "Star Relay": the vendor will take part in awarding young space explorers
2025 marks the 60th anniversary of the first human spacewalk — the "Star Relay", which has been held since 2003 under the auspices of the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center, is timed to coincide with this date. The event is also dedicated to the memory of Galina Ermolenko, a teacher and co—author of the contest, after whom the asteroid of the main asteroid belt 545985 GALINAERMOLENKO (2011 VW10) is named. The aim of the competition is to involve children in scientific and technical creativity related to space research. The main sponsor and partner of the event is the Frontiers of Science Guild.
This year, the organizers have received more than 450 applications from schoolchildren from all over Russia. 150 participants from Tatarstan, Bashkiria, Crimea, Rostov, Moscow, Tambov, Tula regions, Krasnoyarsk and Krasnodar Territories and other regions will come to Korolev and Moscow for the final of the competitions, which have been held since 2003. Children who dream of space will demonstrate their talents in science, technology, art or literature, and their work and projects will be appreciated by professional astronomers, artists, designers, animators, employees of various enterprises in the space and aviation industries.
The award ceremony, which will take place on April 17 at the Moscow Palace of Pioneers, will be attended by Irina Nazarenko, a representative of the Inferit company, Director of Inferit OS, an expert with many years of experience in Russian state corporations. The Inferit company has established special prizes for participants who have submitted outstanding projects.
"We at Inferit are convinced that investing in education and supporting young talents is a contribution to Russia's technological future. Projects such as the "Star Relay" allow us to identify the most motivated and talented children who will become leaders of Russian science and technology in a few years. It is especially gratifying to see how many schoolchildren are passionate about space, a topic that has always driven technology forward," said Irina Nazarenko, Director of Infinit OS.
The organizers strive to make the process of defending works and projects as comfortable as possible for the finalists, so that each work has time to receive feedback from experts and advice, and not just evaluation according to criteria.
Participants are expected to:
Project defense in 5 sections: scientific and technical, astronomical, artistic, literary and journalistic, medical and biological.
Excursions to the enterprises of RSC Energia.
Informative and fascinating lectures from space industry experts.
Award ceremony with the presentation of prizes from partners, including special prizes from the company "Inferit".
"The Frontiers of Science Guild's main areas of work include education and popularization of science. Our task is to find, discover and support the talents on which the future of the Russian space industry depends," comments Ilya Chekh, founder of the Frontiers of Science Guild. — We are glad that the Inferi vendor shares our values and joined the support of the contest. This partnership allows us to create a more solid foundation for Russia's future scientific achievements."
