Spacecraft "Buran" to be restored in Russia

The Soviet, the last surviving reusable spacecraft "Buran", known as "Baikal", will be restored in Russia. The collection of the museum complex in Verkhnyaya Pyshma has been replenished with the manned spacecraft "Buran" created in 1993, it will be restored. The first apparatus of the "Buran" program flew on November 15, 1988 and is now destroyed. The second Buran spacecraft, known as Burya, never flew in space and is stored at Baikonur. The third Buran spacecraft, whose flight planned for 1994 also did not take place, the program being closed at that time, will be placed in a museum near Yekaterinburg after restoration. The reusable Buran spacecraft looks like the American Space Shuttle, but unlike it, it had the ability to land in automatic mode and emergency ejection of the crew. Buran was also capable of long flights, up to 30 days, orbital maneuvering, controlled descent and aircraft landing at a specially equipped airfield. Due to lack of funding, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Buran program was transferred from the Ministry of Defense to the Russian Space Agency and was closed in 1993.
