NOVIKOMB financed the purchase of a vacuum stand for testing low-thrust rocket engines at Bauman Moscow State Technical University. The university's Technological Leadership Fund took part in the project.
The stand has been installed in the Department of Rocket Engines. Faculty members, postgraduate students and undergraduates will use it for research and experimental design work.
The equipment will also support professional development for employees of industry companies and help fulfil orders from public and commercial organisations.
The stand measures engines' technical parameters in conditions close to the vacuum of space, which is important for testing propulsion systems.
NOVIKOMB has supported educational projects to train engineers for industry for many years. With the bank's assistance, an aircraft engine museum and a computer classroom were previously opened at the university.
In 2025, NOVIKOMB received a GenerationS Innovation Award for its contribution to engineering education. The bank won in the category “Innovative Contribution to the Development of Engineering Education” for supporting research and practical initiatives at Bauman University.
