Today the process of transition to a new technological order has become evident to everyone, especially in developed countries. One of the most urgent areas for ensuring the long-term competitiveness of industrial enterprises is the development of the Arctic zone. This region has many economic and logistical difficulties, the solution of which may lie in the use of advanced technologies of the new technological order, for example, 3D-printing technologies. The aim of the article is to study the transformation of the cost structure of industrial products as a result of integration of 3D-printing technologies into the production process of industrial enterprise operating in the Arctic zone. It was found that the structure of the main cost elements varies greatly, due to the ambiguity of replacing computer numerical control (CNC) (or other classical shaping technologies) with 3D-printing technologies, as well as the specifics of supply chains, which is quite urgent for the Arctic region. The results of empirical study necessitate the development of tools for predicting the economic viability of integrating 3D-printing technologies into the technological processes of industrial enterprises operating in the Arctic zone. Within the article, the authors substantiated and developed a fuzzy-multiple model for assessing the level of investment attractiveness of integration of 3D-printing technologies into the production process of an industrial enterprise operating the Arctic zone. One of the aims of this model is to answer the question of whether an enterprise should invest in a technological transition to 3D-printing technologies.

The paper discusses the strategic directions of legal support of environmental safety in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, including the concept, specificity, types of environmental hazard, as well as the criteria, boundaries and possibilities for ensuring environmental safety in the Arctic region. Based on the analysis of the existing and future state programs and areas of economic development in the Arctic, the main trends in the socioeconomic development of the Russian Arctic are identified and analyzed. The authors formulate key compensatory mechanisms for preventing threats and risks of ensuring environmental safety in the Arctic by changing the conceptual approach to the system of natural resource management by ecosystem management model, as well as the development and implementation of nature-like technologies. The conclusion is substantiated that, given the special nature of the development of the Arctic, it is required to adopt a single continuous and balanced in terms of goals, objectives, resources, implementers, a long-term sustainable development plan for the Arctic, taking into account both economic and environmental safety criteria.

The article analyses the most relevant aspects of Arctic research, which are gaining momentum in recent years. The most dynamic thematic ar- eas include the humanitarian issues of the development of the Russian North. The research focuses on the assessment of the peculiarities of the formation and reproduction of human capital in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation the development of the creative and intellectual potential of Russian polar cities. The author notes that research into the social well-being of the population of the Rus- sian Northern regions has become an important direction of research work carried out over the past decades. In studies of the social well-being of the inhabitant of the Arctic region, the authors problematize the key “zones of disadvantage” in the system of assessing the population, and, first of all, the issues of protection from those social dangers that the population find for itself. Summarizing the state of the Arctic research, the author proposes to move away from overly localized coverage of Arctic problems. Large-scale sociological works, which, in our opin- ion, have a certain substantial scientific potential, provided that they are fully implemented, it seems, are now at the stage of their theoretical conceptualization and methodological search.

The 1 Unit (10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm) polar orbit cubesat will perform geospace, ionosphere and arctic region research with a white light camera and a radio wave spectrometer instrument which operates in the 1-10 MHz frequency range.</p><p>Suomi 100 satellite type of nanosatellite, so called CubeSat, provides a cost effective possibility to provide in-situ measurements in the ionosphere. Especially, combined CubeSat observations with ground-based observations give a new view on auroras and associated electromagnetic phenomena. Especially joint CubeSat – ground based observation campaigns enable the possibility of studying the 3D structure of the ionosphere.</p><p>Increasing computation capacity has made it possible to perform simulations where properties of the ionosphere, such as propagation of the electromagnetic waves in the medium frequency, MF (0.3-3 MHz) and high frequency, HF (3-30 MHz), ranges is based on a 3D ionosphere model and on first-principles modelling. Electromagnetic waves at those frequencies are strongly affected by ionospheric electrons and, consequently, those frequencies can be used for studying the plasma. On the other hand, even if the ionosphere originally enables long-range telecommunication at MF and HF frequencies, the frequent occurrence of spatio-temporal variations in the ionosphere disturbs communication channels, especially at high latitudes. Therefore, study of the MF and HF waves in the ionosphere has both a strong science and technology interests.</p><p>We present computational simulation and measuring principles and techniques to investigate the arctic ionosphere by a polar orbiting CubeSat which radio instrument measures HF and MF waves. We introduce 3D simulations, which have been developed to study the propagation of the radio waves, both ground generated man-made radio waves and space formed space weather related waves, through the 3D arctic ionosphere with a 3D ray tracing simulation. We also introduce the Suomi100 CubeSat mission and its observations.</p>

В соответствии с государственной стратегией по освоению северных территорий вопросы, связанные с обеспечением безопасности функционирования Северного морского пути, определяют одно из новых актуальных направлений для проведения научных исследований. Известно, что организация транспортно-технологического процесса в арктическом регионе при наличии тяжелых гидрометеорологических условиях не возможна без новейших систем передачи информационных данных на большие расстояния. В статье приводятся предложения по организации сбора информационных данных с удаленных объектов, расположенных в труднодоступных районах Арктики, для обеспечения нормального функционирования системы управления движением судов в указанном регионе. Для решения задачи осуществления дистанционного мониторинга работоспособности технических средств навигационного оборудования предложено использовать автоматическую передачу данных по радиолиниям метеорной связи, охватывающих всю трассу Северного морского пути. В качестве одного из методов увеличения пропускной способности сети метеорной связи, что дает возможность повысить ее эффективность и одновременно расширить функциональные возможности, рекомендовано применить адаптацию вида манипуляции к уровню мощности сигнала на входе приемного устройства. In accordance with the state strategy of development of Northern territories, the issues related to the safe operation of the Northern sea route define one of the new topical areas for research. It is known that the organization of transport-technological process in the Arctic region in the presence of severe hydrometeorological conditions is not possible without advanced systems of information data transmission over long distances. The article presents suggestions for organizing the collection of information from remote sites located in remote areas of the Arctic to ensure the normal functioning of vessel traffic management in the region. To solve the problem of the remote monitoring of the technical means of navigation performance it is proposed to use automatic data transfer via radio links of meteor communications, covering the whole Northern sea route. As one of the methods for increasing bandwidth capacity network of meteor communications, which gives the opportunity to increase its efficiency and at the same time to extend the functionality, it is recommended to use adaptation of the kind of manipulation to the power level of the input signal of the receiver.

The article presents an assessment of the current ecological status of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation as a promising area of active industrial development. Acknowledging the current negative environmental consequences of human activities in the Arctic, the authors raise the issue of environmental risks in the Arctic region, which inevitably arise due to the intensification of resource extraction in these areas. From the standpoint of a risk-based approach, the authors insist on the need to take into account the environmental safety requirements in the Arctic region when conducting any kind of business and other activities, taking into account the particular vulnerability of the Arctic ecosystems and the climate-forming significance of this region for the entire planet. In their opinion, at present, the problem of environmental safety in the Russian Arctic is aggravated by several unfavorable factors: environmental damage accumulated over a long period of previous economic and military activities; the lack of the necessary legal framework to regulate resource extraction activities in the region, taking into account new environmental requirements; Russia’s lack of the latest eco-friendly technologies for offshore hydrocarbon production. Each of these factors is capable of provoking irreversible environmental consequences, and, accordingly, each of them should be subjected to in-depth scientific evaluation in the framework of strategic and project-economic planning.
