Bureau 1440 tests satellite link aboard Ural nuclear icebreaker in Arctic
Russian company Bureau 1440, together with Rosatom enterprises and the FMBA, tested low-Earth-orbit satellite communications aboard the Ural nuclear icebreaker on the Northern Sea Route, including video calls and a telemedicine consultation.
Russian aerospace company Bureau 1440, which is developing the Rassvet low-Earth-orbit satellite constellation, tested satellite communications aboard the Ural nuclear icebreaker on the Northern Sea Route. The tests involved the Federal Agency for the Northern Sea Route, Atomflot and Russia’s FMBA.
A 1440.УЛЬТРА production subscriber terminal was installed aboard the Project 22220 icebreaker. Ural Captain Viktor Suryadov used a video link to report to Atomflot’s situational center in Murmansk on the completion of the voyage assignment and ice conditions along the route.
Telemedicine in the high latitudes
Doctors from the FMBA’s Murmansk center conducted a telemedicine consultation from the icebreaker with specialists at the Burnasyan Federal Medical Biophysical Center in Moscow and transmitted diagnostic imaging data for one crew member.
Bureau 1440’s system is often described as a Russian equivalent of Starlink. The company, which is part of X Holding, plans to provide broadband data services with global coverage. Communications in the Arctic are particularly important for developing the Northern Sea Route, where terrestrial infrastructure is limited.
