Kornienko and Lynnik told Ufa residents about jump from stratosphere

In the Ufa planetarium, city residents met with the pilot-cosmonaut, Hero of Russia, and president of the cosmonaut federation in Bashkiria, Mikhail Kornienko, and the pilot-instructor, Alexander Lynnik, according to the administration of the Oktyabrsky district of the capital.

Mikhail Kornienko and Alexander Lynnik spoke about the Polar Height 2025 project and the world's first stratospheric jump from the North Pole, which took place in April 2024, marking the 450th anniversary of Ufa.

On April 12, 2024, Alexander Lynnik, Mikhail Kornienko, and Denis Efremov, a space and stratospheric engineering engineer, jumped from an IL-76 aircraft from a height of more than 10,000 meters and landed safely. The record holders were in free fall for approximately two minutes and deployed their parachutes at an altitude of around 1 km. Author: Eduard Kuskarbekov
