A competition was held for the first commercial supply of the YURTA sub–kelvin temperature cryostat, an installation created jointly by the Bauman Moscow State Technical University and industrial partners under the scientific instrument engineering program of the Ministry of Education and Science. The first customer was one of the leading state corporations.
The need to create its own cryogenic equipment became critical for Russian science in 2020, when the world’s leading manufacturers imposed sanctions restrictions.
For 2.5 years, as part of the Cryostat development work of the Russian scientific instrument engineering program of the Ministry of Education and Science, Bauman Moscow State Technical University, together with the Federal State Unitary Enterprise VNIIA named after N.L. Dukhov and an industrial partner, developed a serial ultra-low temperature cryostat, whose characteristics surpassed world analogues.
The landmark event creates the basis for Russia’s technological independence in the strategically important field of scientific equipment, said Valery Falkov, Head of the Ministry of Education and Science.
“The implementation of the flagship Cryostat development work and the successful launch of the series is a systematic result of the scientific instrument engineering program. We are forming a stable technological platform for the leadership of Russian research teams, RAS institutes and corporations in such critical areas as quantum computing and new generation research,” the Minister stressed.
YURTA is a high–capacity cryostat for research and development in conditions significantly lower than the temperature in space. Such conditions are the foundation for developments that will shape future technologies, including hybrid optical quantum computing, ultra-sensitive detectors for basic science and medicine, secure quantum communications, and artificial intelligence based on neuromorphic processors.
“The launch of mass production and commercialization of YURTA is more than the success of a single project. This confirms that the Russian engineering school is capable of creating world-class high-tech equipment even in the most difficult areas. We are not just replacing imports, we are creating the basis for future discoveries that will be made in Russian laboratories at Russian facilities,” said Mikhail Gordin, Rector of Bauman Moscow State Technical University.
In September 2025, First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov visited the Bauman Moscow State Technical University and took part in the launch ceremony of Russian ultra-low temperature cryostats.
The scientific instrument engineering program is being implemented in accordance with the instructions of the President of the Russian Federation. The development of 8 scientific instruments has already been completed, and at least 40 scientific instruments will be developed by 2030.
