It would be great to save this milestone in the history of spaceflight and inspire the young and further generation to dream and develop beautiful technologies. What do you think about Abay Park in Shymkent? Or to put the Buran on display at the former Tulpar Rail Station between Dendropark and Zoo at Prospekt Baydibek Bi in Shymkent? Proposal for a Buran exhibition at the former Tulpar Rail station near Dendropark and Zoo at Prospekt Baydibek Bi in Shymkent. It’s time for Kazakhstan to save this spacecraft for the history and put it on a nice public place. This property is owned by a private person in Kazakhstan. In this huge building the Buran is stored. Only some Adventurer tried to went secretly into the building and made their some nice pictures of the spacecraft. The Buran space shuttle is unvisible for tourists who coming to visit the Cosmodrome Baikonur because it’s stored in this building. The MZK building 80 is still owned by Kazakhstan. The building went into the hands of Kazakhstan after the end of Soviet Union. The spacecraft was planned to be the 2nd flying Buran space shuttle and was nearly completed. One Buran spacecrafts are in the hands of a Kazakh business man Dauren Mussa and remains in Baikonur Cosmodrome. In what may have been the first instance of online espionage, the Soviets built their own space shuttle based on thousands of documents acquired from U.S. Can we see Buran in Shymkent´s Abay Park in the future? And not every tile was unique – instead of the shield of its American brother. The Buran lost on its first and only flight – only three ceramic tiles out of 38,000. ![]() In the 2003 they lost the Space Shuttle Columbia because of a hole in the heat shield. In its first flights it lost very much ceramic tiles of its heat shield. And we know, the American Space Shuttle had huge problems with its heat shield. This milestone was achieved by the Americans with the X-37B spacecraft over 20 years later on 22nd April 2010. It was the first winged spacecraft that landed on 15th November 1988 without an pilot on an airport – just controlled by computers. The Soviet Space Shuttle was a marvel of technology in the history of spaceflight. Read how!ĭo you know that also a Space Shuttle launched from Kazakhstan – and it wrote history in spaceflight? This Space Shuttle called Buran – after the strong winter storm – was a soviet development to achieve the same goals as the American Space Shuttle – and to build it even better. Most of them were scrapped, destroyed or sold following the collapse of the Soviet Union.Can you imagine to see the Space Shuttle Buran in a park in Shymkent? It could become reality. In total, five Buran airframes were fully or partially constructed by Molniya during the program, as well as over ten sub-scale models, pre-production prototypes and models. In 2002, a roof collapse at one of the Baikonur hangars destroyed the Izdelye 1.01, the only Buran orbiter that ever flew to space in an unmanned test conducted in 1988. “You should stop writing this filth about the Russian space industry, which you know nothing about, and evaluate the risk that your, in my opinion, irresponsible behavior puts these unique machines in,” Rogozin said in a comment under Musa’s post. Rogozin also responded to Muza’s latest rebuttal, accusing him of not taking proper care of the prototypes. In February 2021, the Special Economic Court of Almaty rejected a claim by the Kazakhstan government that the spacecraft should be considered as government property and displayed in a museum.įollowing the court’s decision, Dmitry Rogozin, the head of Russia’s space agency Roskosmos, said his agency attempted to purchase the Buran, but was unable to do so as the true owner of the spacecraft was unclear. The Soviets used some lessons learned and, in some respects, built a better shuttle. This was the second attempt to remove the prototypes from Baikonur. Buran could almost be thought of as an iteration on that design. The press release has since been removed from Molniya’s website. According to the release, the spacecraft were going to be restored and placed in various Russian museums. ![]() In early September NPO Molniya, the descendant of the Soviet design bureau of the same name that worked on the Buran program, published a press release claiming that it had sent a delegation to Baikonur in order to discuss the transfer of Buran prototypes to Russia. ![]()
