On December 17, four postage stamps dedicated to technical achievements of Russia were put into postal circulation

Scientific and technological development of the Russian Federation is one of the priorities of state policy. Significant achievements have been made in areas that will enable to gain scientific and technical results and create the technologies that form the basis for the innovative development of the domestic market of products and services and Russia's stable position in the foreign market.

Tokamak (a toroidal chamber with magnetic coils) is a special type of a reactor for creating thermonuclear fusion in hot plasma. The T-15MD facility is quite compact. It is located in Moscow, at the Kurchatov Institute. The reactions that will be created in the T-15MD installation resemble the processes in the cores of stars, accompanied by a huge outburst of energy. Scientists hope that the experiments will help humanity find a new, safe, and virtually inexhaustible source of electricity.

The Baikal-GVD neutrino telescope is designated to detect and study ultra-high-energy neutrino fluxes from astrophysical sources. Scientists plan to use it to study processes involving enormous energy releases that occurred in the Universe in the distant past.

The 177S unit is a fifth-generation standardized engine for operational-tactical aircraft, featuring increased thrust, extended service life, and reduced fuel consumption. From the viewpoint of specific parameters obtained, the 177S engine outperforms all existing Russian and foreign-made combat aircraft engines.

The S-76 unmanned transport system is an aerial facility equipped with a hybrid power plant combining electric and piston engines. This system is capable of vertical takeoff and landing, which makes it highly adaptable to various operating conditions without the need for traditional runways. It is capable of switching between vertical and horizontal flight modes. After takeoff, it switches to the airplane mode, using a tail piston engine with a pusher propeller for horizontal flight. The S-76 unmanned transport system permits effective operation in a variety of scenarios, from urban deliveries to supplying remote areas. It has a payload capacity of up to 300 kg and a flight range of up to 500 km.

The postage stamps provide images of Tokamak-15MD thermonuclear plant, Baikal-GVD neutrino telescope, 177S aircraft engine and S-76 unmanned transport system.

In addition to the issue of the postage stamps, JSC Marka produced First Day Covers and special cancels for Moscow and St. Petersburg.
