New part
I have just added a new chapter to the site which speak about the available documentation on the project Buran-Energia. I begin with the publication of a work grouping together the technical documentation of the NPO Molniya company (master builder). Very complete work on the Buran shuttle and the MAKS shuttle.

Wow! Your site is growing better and better! Congratulations indeed and thanks for sharing all this with the “non-russianspeaking” world. I’m just a bit doubtful about the MAKS shuttle…I was wondering whether it is technically feasible or not: if the (few) funds available are spent on Angara or Kliper, maybe it means that MAKS turned out to be too risky or the payload too low. Yes I know that nowadays Myria is an Ukrainian affair and that the oil-thrilled relations between the two countries are not so good, but if MAKS were really promising, they could bring down the house of aerospace industry

Thank you for your comment 
.
I think they haven’t still used MAKS because it’s too original and no tests where conducts, so the development phase isn’t finished. Moreover as you said the payload charge is a bit low, moreover Mriya is now ukrainian. And to finish the shuttles fell now in disgrace (Klipper is a lifting body for exemple). All this points (and more may be) lead to drop this project.
