Buran News

Here is a reportage about the sell of the BOR-5 mock-up which was broadcasted on CNN in 2001. The BOR-5 is a mock-up at 1:8 of the Buran shuttle which was used to make suborbitals flights tests.

In August 2007 I went to the Monino museum, at 40km of Moscow, here are the pictures I taken.

Here is another videos of the transport of the Buran shuttle OK-GLI in Germany (around April, 10).

The first video is the un-loading in the Rotterdam’s harbor, the second is showing pictures of the carriage on the Rhine.

Here is the official video of the carriage (done for the museum) of the shuttle OK-GLI to the Speyer museum in Germany.

Thanks to Elser-film.

Here is 2 videos of the transportation of the OK-GLI shuttle to the Speyer museum in Germany.

Here is some pictures of the Buran’s transport along the Rhine.

Here is a serie of pictures of the test shuttle OK-M taken in January 2007.

OK-MT was built in Moscow in 1983 for technological developments, the transport documentation development and loading of the gas tanks, the hermetic systems of safety, the entry and the exit of the crew, the development of the military operations, the maintenance and the flight manuals.

Here is some pictures of the 2.01 Buran shuttle taken at the begining of this year on the TMZ’s parking at Tushino (near Moscow).

Unfortunately, the shuttle (or what there is left) is subjected to the bad weather and in not so many years it will be good to be put in a wasteland.
