Everyone can test their knowledge of the history of space exploration and the fundamental laws of cosmonautics on the website of the National Technology Initiative Circle Movement.
MOSCOW, September 23. /tass/. A new standard of technological literacy has been opened in the field of space technologies. This was reported to TASS by the press service of the National Technology Initiative (NTI) Circle Movement.
"A new standard of technological literacy has been opened in the field of Space technologies. Jet propulsion". On the technogto.kruzhok website.org everyone can test their knowledge in the field of the history of space exploration and the fundamental laws of cosmonautics. The online test questions also assess how well the participant understands the principles of jet propulsion and gravity, is familiar with the design and operation of rockets, satellites and other spacecraft, knows the basic characteristics of the cosmic bodies of the Solar system, etc.," the press service said.
The space technology standard was developed jointly with the Volt Brothers project and included in the All-Russian Jet Propulsion Marathon, which is supported by the Roscosmos State Corporation and the Russian Ministry of Education and Science as part of the Decade of Science and Technology. "Space is of particular importance to our country, it is associated with great achievements in the past and technological leadership of Russia in the future, so it will be interesting for representatives of all generations to pass the space technology standard," said Dmitry Zemtsov, Vice Rector of the Higher School of Economics, Executive Secretary of the NTO Organizing Committee, leader of the NTI Circle Movement. "The TECHNOGTO project has actively started the 2025/2026 academic year: several more new standards are being prepared for launch, and since October, in different regions of the country from Kaliningrad to Kamchatka, full-time standards for gold badges have been handed over at TECHNOGTO sites."
Starting in the spring of 2026, participants will also be able to pass the space technology standard in person for gold TECHNOGTO badges. During the face-to-face stage, a hydropneumatic rocket will be assembled from the proposed components and its operability will be checked, telemetry will be configured, telemetry data will be received and processed, and the maximum rocket lift height, speed, acceleration, and other parameters will be calculated. The new standard became the eleventh in the TECHNOGTO complex.
"The topic of space is always of particular interest, it attracts talented and motivated young people who strive for new discoveries and achievements. It's great that Technogto allows not only to test knowledge, but also to convert students' passion for space and new technologies into additional points for the Unified State Exam," said Gennady Guryanov, First Deputy General Director of the presidential platform "Russia - the Land of Opportunities." It is specified that in the 2025/2026 academic year, a set of standards for technological literacy is included in the draft order of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation approving the list of Olympiads and other intellectual and creative competitions. Due to this, data on the holders of TECHNOGTO gold badges will be transmitted to the state information resource (GIR), and universities will be able to award applicants up to 10 additional points to the Unified State Exam for this achievement.
"The main goal of the space technology standard and all activities within the framework of the All-Russian Jet Propulsion Marathon is to attract even more talented young people to the space industry, inspired by the history of cosmonautics, modern technologies, and a thirst for exploration and discovery," added Anton Volt Brothers project leader, senior engineer at the Lomonosov Moscow State University Research Institute of Mechanics Rogachev.
About Technogto
Technogto is a set of standards for assessing general technological literacy and willingness to use technology responsibly to solve problems in everyday life. The project is being implemented by the NTI Circle Movement in conjunction with the presidential platform "Russia - the Land of Opportunities" and the Movement of the Former with the support of the Higher School of Economics and Rosmolodezh. Regulations on cybersecurity, drones, electronics, fact-checking, etc. are available on the Technogto website. By passing the standards online, participants earn bronze and silver badges, and by confirming their knowledge on face-to-face sites, they receive gold badges.
