Persons (and, in special cases, organizations) with Russian or foreign citizenship and stateless persons can be awarded the Badge of Honor “For Services to Taimyr” regardless of their place of residence. In case of posthumous awarding the badge and relevant documents are received by the relatives of the awarded person.
The award is presented to recognize highly professional and long service for the benefit of the municipal okrug; outstanding achievements in public and civil service, human rights and environmental protection, the arts, science, technology and other fields.
Successful effort to preserve the traditions of indigenous peoples of Taimyr, their trades and economic practices is acknowledged.
In 2005, three astronauts were awarded the badge of honor: twice Hero of the Soviet Union Georgy Mikhailovich Grechko, twice Hero of the Soviet Union Yuri Viktorovich Romanenko and Alexander Ivanovich Laveikin.
Nickel and cobalt used in building launch vehicles are produced at the Norilsk Metallurgical Works. Besides, “Taimyr” became a call sign of the spaceship “Soyuz-26”, which was launched on December 10, 1977 at 4:10 a.m. Moscow time and returned on March 22, 1978. During the 96-day mission, the crew docked the spacecraft with the Salyut-6 station and carried out visual observations of various areas of the Earth.
With the call sign “Taimyr”, the Mission Control Center received important information of great value to the national economy. Lieutenant Colonel Yuri Romanenko, the commander of the spacecraft, operated in Earth orbit under the call sign “Taimyr” on three occasions: in 1978 — with Georgiy Grechko, in 1980 — with the Cuban Arnaldo Tamayo Mendez on “Soyuz-38” and in 1987 — with Alexander Laveikin on the orbital station “Mir”. Romanenko went into space three times and was involved in the introduction of the astrophysics module “Kvant”.
The crew’s flight engineer, Georgy Grechko, made a spacewalk to check the integrity of the “Salyut-6” station and conducted over-plan observations of the Northern Lights.
Space pilots call their colleagues who used the call sign “Taimyr” by the nickname “Taimyrs”. In 2005, three “Taimyrs” flew to Dudinka to congratulate the residents on the okrug’s anniversary.
The guests met with students from Taimyr College, had a tour of the Taimyr Local History Museum’s permanent exhibition and attended the photo exhibition “Taimyr Calls You”.
