The ice-resistant platform "North Pole" has completed all tests and has already begun preparations for the launch of the first flight, which is planned for the very beginning of autumn. Alexander Makarov, Director of the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (AANI), told about the plans.

Currently, preparatory work is underway on the platform for its transfer to the customer, which will take place at the end of July. After that, preparations for the first flight will begin, the departure is scheduled for September 1. The LSP will leave St. Petersburg and proceed to Murmansk, where scientists will board it. Next, the expedition will go to the ice fields to the north of the Novosibirsk Islands, where it will drift. That's where the platform will freeze into the ice.

The tests are completed, there are no overlays, my colleagues accept scientific equipment. The crew is almost fully formed, we only need to find cooks
