Drifting polar station "North Pole-41" began its work in the Arctic Ocean

Russia revived the program of drifting polar stations, the expedition "North Pole-41" began its work in the Arctic Ocean. According to the TG-channel "Ice", the ice-resistant self-propelled platform "North Pole" has arrived at the place of freezing.

LSP "North Pole" arrived in the area of ​​the New Siberian Islands, where it drifted. The platform was fixed with cables, now it will serve as a camp for the Russian drifting polar station "North Pole-41". The opening of the station took place on October 2, 2022 at 7 am at a point with coordinates 82°37' north latitude and 155°31' east longitude. The flag of the expedition was raised over the ice.

LSP "North Pole" left St. Petersburg in early September, arriving in Murmansk about two weeks later. There, the scientific part of the expedition in the amount of 27 scientists boarded, after which the LSP went to the area of ​​the New Siberian Islands to drift and freeze into the ice, thereby launching a new expedition.

Ice-resistant self-propelled platform project 00903 is an all-season research platform with the functionality of a research center. Designed for year-round scientific research in the Arctic Ocean. Officially laid down at the Admiralty Shipyards on April 10, 2019, launched on December 18, 2020, testing began this spring, handed over to the customer at the end of summer.

The ship will be able to carry out geological, acoustic, geophysical and oceanographic observations, move in ice without the involvement of an icebreaker (ice class Arc8), receive helicopters of the Mi-8AMT (Mi-17) type. Length - 83,1 m; width - 22,5 m; displacement - about 10390 tons; power plant - 4200 kW; speed - at least 10 knots; autonomy in terms of fuel reserves - about 2 years; service life - not less than 25 years. The crew of the ship - 14 people + 34 scientific personnel.

Well, now there will be someone "guests" to fish under the ice!

[Boniface]

Yeah! there is probably a "bad" GAS, and maybe an OGAS for location in the ShP mode! So the PLA will squeeze out the adversary

Still to arm accordingly. After the sabotage on the joint venture, everything can be expected from the Anglo-Saxons.

I also thought about it and there are such rumors that sabotage may begin already in the Arctic. And don't forget about science!

Surely there is a container "with household inventory" on the deck, with an opening roof ...

[Alexga]

Good luck to you polar explorers in these difficult times. And the station GENERALLY looks great, but it started with Papanin's tents.

[tralflot1832]

And the helicopter on the deck is clearly not MI 8! I envy white envy, they got rid of problems on the shore. Now it’s just work, you do everything for the first time, the responsibility is beyond.

The rotorcraft, I hope, retracts under the helicopter? And then, without a hangar, it’s somehow not comme il faut to keep it in the cold and in a snowstorm, or is it intended that there would be something to pass the time during such a long voyage?

[Bear]

Apparently, this is a KA-27, in which modification it is not clear, or maybe a submarine. So, in the hangar or below deck, it is definitely removed, because. it's a ship's helicopter.

[sub307]

Why not K-32? Or maybe - "Lamprey": K-65. K-27 is precisely anti-submarine with all the "property" due: weapons and l / s.

There is no hangar there, only a platform for receiving helicopters.

I think that such a polar station will not be the only one, let's see if a hangar appears at the next one.

[Bad_gr]

According to the original idea, the appearance of the station was somewhat different.

Well, that's right. On the deck, a special deck helicopter looks much more logical than the Mi-8 or Mi-2 adapted to this.
This is one of the Ka-27 line. Regular deck helicopter MO. Now let them have military helicopters on the icebreakers.

[isv000]

A chic tent on an ice floe turned out! Schmidt and Krenkel would salivate!

[tralflot1832]

But Papanin I don’t know what he did. I was in the Papanin house, next to the Museum, nothing special. But once there was an elite house.

[Dikson]

Yes, now, looking at this picture, more than one generation of those who worked on joint venture projects salivated .. - live and work in such a hotel! With a sauna and a swimming pool, with a gym .. And there is in a normal wardroom, and not on your knees ..)))

[sub307]

They took off the "tongue" .... Papanin would probably join Schmidt with Krenkel and the rest of the team would be!

[Roma 1977]

That's where you need to mow from mobilization! And the suckers went to Georgia.

[Hitriy Zhuk]

After tents on an ice floe and airdrops, this must seem like a hotel.
You can even shove a shower and an operating room there.

A shower must be provided in each cabin. There is no need to melt snow, there are desalination plants. Internet available - not like before...

[Serge Petrof]

Clearly hurried to the Arctic. In two months it was possible to Europe. There the same landscapes will be everywhere.

[Petr_Koldunov]

Well, good luck and seven feet under the keel, polar explorers! I really like to follow the achievements in the Arctic. Although there are undoubted successes in the Arctic, both civilizational and technological.
In addition, I hope that maybe at least there the ukrovermacht will not break through our defenses and will not occupy our territories Although with such our command ...

[Yuri Veselov]

And what kind of defensive weapons are there?

[nikolai55soot]

LSP "North Pole": if necessary, we can send you a caravan - an echelon of 10 or 20 pusher ships (power and strength) led by an icebreaker that will definitely break through - an icebreaker ....

[Adrey]

The expedition may have an interesting fate. They won't be coming back soon.

[Fizik13]

Is it hard for the Angolaxes to repeat this?
Where are the "English scientists"?

[ASM]

I don’t even know how to say - ice under your keel! And let the hummocks keep you in the research area more than anchors!

[Wbond]

....great news!...successful work!!!
