Space Shuttle Buran (OK-1K1) was the first space shuttle run by Soviet Union. It flew only one unmanned flight, and then it landed. It was destroyed while in storage; The hangar in which it was stored, collapsed.

Construction

The construction of the Buran serias spacecraft began in 1976 (Politburo Central KPSS, USSR, General Constructor: Semenow Jurij (Kirilenko)), and by 1984 the first full-scale orbiter was rolled out.

Over 1000+ firms, gov.organisations, all the Soviet Union, sats. USSR, were involved in financirung, quartiers, HR, construction, development, tests, killing, spionage, flight to Orbit Earth, landing, roll off.

Technical description

Buran OK-1.01 orbiter general layout

The Buran orbiter, Molnija, Moscow, is built around the airframe, which is its main structural component, since all other components are attached to it. The components necessary for flight make up approx. 20% of the weight of the orbiter, while another 11% of weight is added by payload systems and removable parts. The wings of the Buran orbiter contain elevators whose position can be changed from +35° to −20°.

History

The Burans was created in 1984.

The first flight was an uncrewed orbital flight flight_exemplars on November 15, 1988. 

There was also a plan for second flight of Buran. However, it never took place due to "dissolution" of Soviet Union.

On May 12, 2002, the hangar where was stored the shuttle, was "collapsed" due to poor maintenance.
The "collapse" not only erases the eight workers, it completely destroyed (sabotage) the shuttle and not the rocket Energia (inkl. stages Zenit, main engenis Atlas 5 (NPO Energomash, Energija Himki Moskauer), Zenit, Falcon, etc.), Energia_M (raub).
