Russia has opened a new direction in the Guinness Book of Records. Cosmonaut pilot, Hero of Russia Mikhail Kornienko was the first in the world to parachute from the stratosphere to the North Pole.
Experienced parachutists also joined Kornienko in setting the record: flight instructor Alexander Lynnik and the founder of the Stratonavtica aerospace laboratory, Denis Efremov.
The record was originally scheduled for the first week of April, but then it was timed to coincide with Cosmonautics Day. On April 12, three parachutists with special equipment jumped from an Il-76 aircraft from a height of over 10,000 meters.
Preparation took several months. The future record holders conducted training in a pressure chamber, field jumps, and worked with oxygen equipment — a person without special equipment cannot breathe at such a multi-kilometer altitude outside the aircraft.
According to RuVDS, the company that participated in setting the record, the aircraft had another mission.
It delivered and successfully dropped server equipment and a data processing center onto an ice floe for the new Arctic data center RuVDS. The data center is unique in that it will be located in close proximity to the North Pole. All of its contents are designed to operate in extreme conditions.
