Cool site, lots of info here..
i’ve got a question..So the real Buran which flew into orbit has been destroyed in year 2002 correct?
and there will be a aerospace exhibition in malaysia featuring the Buran space shuttle. Is this like a similar model?
Kindly email me if possible

Very cool website! But i have a question. Is the Buran project a copy from the shuttle project or backwards?

Also, you could make a forum. We, fans, would like to talk about russian space history…

Hello,

thank you for your comment.

The Buran project was to be a copy of the US shuttle but an improved
copy, to show to the world that Soviet engineers can do high tech
machines. You can find a more detailled answer on this document:
http://www.buran-energia.com/documentation/documentation-birds-of-a-feather.php

If you want to talk with fans about Buran and russian space you can go here:

But I don’t think I will make a forum only for my site.

Respectfully Vassili.

Hello my name is Bruce-

I very much like this informative site about the Buran shuttle
Program, and I enjoy looking at this and other sites devoted to
the Russian shuttle program. I am an interested student of Russian
Space History.

I am doing some extensive research on the rescue suit that was to be worn by the cosmonauts of the Buran shuttle, the “Strizh”
suit. I would like to make this request to those who operate this
site or to others out there that may have information: is there
any pictures of the Strizh suit being used for training or testing?
Is there any technical documents or pictures that identify all the
parts of the suit including the hoses and hose hookups?

If you have such information please contact me at my e-mail
address. Thank You Very Much, Bruce

Site fantastique , j’ignorais qu’il existait autant de documentation sur Bourane. La présentation et les éxplications sont vraiment superbes
Comme pour Concorde , les seuls mots qui me viennent à l’esprit quand je vois le sort de Bourane sont : quel gachis !!

Excellent work indeed (for those who don’t know russian to read the russian site).
But don’t be so certain that currently Russia don’t have any Buran Shuttle operating!
Of course they don’t take off from Baikonour (which is ready to close) as Russia has other 3 well known kosmodromes (and one new).
After all the Buran Project is a Military Project so any info from the part of Russians is unlikely to reach us!
By the way….notice how the OC-120 look alike with the space shuttle! (with the space shuttle stripped down!)…Coincidence? Maybe!
And by ALL MEANS…..I do not believe russians (they say they stopped the production of Buran BTC-2) - they do not waste their time and throw away things!
And - Believe me - they keep their secrets well hidden!
Who knows maybe one day they will show us the suuccessor of BTC-2!

Can you allow your photographs of the Buran become available to sale on your website?WOW! Great views of the Buran on the launch pad that I have NEVER seen. Great website.Iam glad I found it. I hope the Russians will keep designing more spacecraft to help explore what is out there in space. I welcome their knowledge and friendship and hope they will continue to help with the development of the International Space Station.

Hello Vassilli, what a fantasticly interesting site you have. I found all i ever wanted to know and more. It is really sad that this more advanced space shuttle program had to end and could not contribute to the multi national space program we have today. I also find the pictures of the abandoned shuttles facinating like the one in Gorky park. How can such a beautiful thing be turned into an amusement. I am glad that the last remenants are being preserved and given the high status they deserve. Thank you, Richard.

Site qui fait rêver, tout comme le programme buran ! Heureusement que le net existe, que les enfants d’aujourd’hui comprennent qu’il n’y a pas qu’une navette américaine.
Qu’on a fait mieux, et que demain nous réserve encore bien plus.

This is an excellent site!

It’s quite difficult to get much information on Buran in English, and even harder to find information which seems reliable. It’s very much appreciated.

Privet ! I just stumbled into your site while searching for the antonov 225 and now i’m still here reading all the other pages as well.

It is a bit sad to see the advanced stages of russian technology only now thanks to the internet.

You made a very nice site, cool photos and information. Thank you !
