	Shuttle Buran - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Because Buran's debut followed that of Space Shuttle Columbia's, and because there were striking visual similarities between the two shuttle systems — a state of affairs which recalled the similarity between the Tupolev Tu-144 and Concorde supersonic airliners — many speculated that Cold War espionage played a role in the development of the Soviet shuttle.
		Buran was not an integral part of the system, but rather a payload for the Energia launcher.
		The Buran SO, a docking module that was to be used for rendezvous with the Mir space station, was refitted for use with the U.S. Space Shuttles during the Shuttle-Mir missions.

	Wis.LIRC ER Decision: Buran - March 17, 2000 - Sex discrimination - compensation - jobs not substantially equal; ...
		Buran argues that the ALJ's conclusions that the respondent did not violate the Wisconsin Fair Employment Act by discriminating against her on the basis of sex with regard to compensation and in her terms and conditions of employment are not supported by the evidence.
		Buran argues that she did not suspend students because it was an uncommon event at her elementary school, and that when the common responsibilities and tasks that both individuals performed are examined it is clear that both performed substantially similar jobs but she was significantly under compensated.
		Buran argues that her schedule changed from one in which she reported directly to the principal and independently performed tasks to one in which her time was broken down into 15-20 minute blocks of times and it was up to the teachers she was assigned to decide what she would be doing at all times.

	Buran Ends Its Days As Theme Park Attraction
		The Buran was launched unmanned on November 15, 1988, from the Baikonur space centre in Kazakhstan, made two orbits of the earth and landed successfully three hours later.
		Buran was capable of transporting a payload of 30 tonnes, the equivalent of the capability of several Progress ships, used to supply the Mir space station.
		Aramais Martirossian, who has been running the Buran project since 1998 and is in charge of the Kosmopark theme park, said that 1.25 million dollars had been invested in the project, but that some of the money had been "stolen" by dishonest managers.

		The first and only orbital launch of the shuttle Buran was at 3:00 GMT on November 15, 1988.
		The Buran 1 mission was limited to 2 orbits due to computer memory limitations.

	Buran reusable shuttle
		The Buran development was conducted within the Reusable Space System program, or MKS, which included the winged orbiter itself and the Energia heavy-lift vehicle.
		NPO Molniya, the developer of the Buran's body, tried to move forward with a small version of the reusable orbiter, launched by an Antonov-225 Mriya transport plane.
		One of six full-scale copies of the Buran, which were built for development and testing purposes, sits at Firing Tests Site, OKI, in Baikonur.

	The Russian Space shuttle Buran
		To organize and operate the transportation of the Russian space shuttle Buran from its base at the military airfield of Zhukovsky, outside Moscow to Gothenburg, Sweden for trans-shipment to Sydney, Australia, is one of the highlights in the career of Wolfgang Karau at Procargo.
		In Sydney, Buran was placed on exhibition, the first original space shuttle in the world open to the public.
		Buran Mark II, which was the one transported to Sydney, made 25 high altitude test flights from 1985 to 1988.

	BURAN
		To transport Buran from the space center Baikonur to the launch pad they used rails with a powerfull locomotive.
		Buran is/was more expensive to launch because the engines on the Energiya rocket burn up in the atmosphere and are not reused like the American SRB's and 3 liquid engines mounted on the shuttle.
		The current Mir only consist of modules weighing 20 tons and the ISS will also consist of modules weighing 20 tons because that is the maximum weight the Proton rocket can carry and the shuttle can launch when it has to reach the inclination and height of the new station.

		The wooden structure separating top and bottom halves of the bay looked unfit inside of the space craft, but Buran itself was not exactly born to become an eatery.
		The guard who let us in worked on the Buran space program and he seems to be very knowledgeable of the spacecraft, answering questions.
		This is how Buran might have look like in orbit and docked to Mir.

	Auction Fails to Sell Buran, Russian Shuttle Remains Available
		Buran -- Russian for snowstorm -- is the name of the Russian shuttle that made one unmanned spaceflight in November 1988.
		Russia's shuttle Buran sits on its launch pad at the Baikonur Cosmodrome awaiting a November 1988 liftoff.
		Of those, one Buran was turned into a space-themed restaurant at Gorky Park in Moscow and another was given a fresh coat of paint before going on display for more than a year in Sydney, Australia during the time of the 2000 Summer Olympic Games.

		The BURAN orbiter is the space airplane which may descent from an orbit and land to an airdrome.
		The BURAN is our first vehicle capable not only to put pay-loads into Space, but also to provide their orbit maintenance and repair as well as return to the Earth.
		The availability of a cargo compartment of impressive sizes on the vehicle permits to transport orbital station modules or large structures up to 17 m long and 4,5 m in diameter and not only 2-4 crew members but up to 6 passengers can be accommodated in a crew cabin.

	Russia To Bring Space Shuttle Back From The Grave
		Buran was mothballed in the early 1990s by the cash-strapped Russian government.
		The Buran project would have employed 30,000 people, and there were plans for up to 30 launches a year.
		Like all Russian space vehicles, and the nuclear-armed missiles on which they were based, Buran is assembled horizontally and moved by rail to the launch pad, where it is raised to vertical.

		Identification is consequently difficult, especially as almost right up to Buran's first flight twin jet engines were to be mounted either side of the vertical stabiliser for use on landing and all airframes included the cut-outs necessary to hold them.
		These appeared on the Molniya "Buran" site on the page dealing with the faked launch in 1992 of the second orbiter, "Baikals", on a failed mission to Mir.
		Of course, this never happened, but what is interesting is that the images of that 'launch' have the name "Baikal" in different lettering to these video grabs.

		As the precursor to the former Soviet Union's Space Shuttle "Buran" ("Snowstorm" in Russian), this full-scale test version was completed in 1984 to assist in the development of an automatic landing system.
		Although it made its take off and landing as a conventional aircraft, the analogue Buran 002 was constructed of the same materials and used the same technology as the space-rated craft.
		The analogue Buran was finally sold to The Buran Space Corporation, an Australia-based company responsible for its delivery to Sydney and the construction of its new home at Darling Harbour.

		No one associated with the auction in the United States is sure exactly which Buran it is that the potential winning bidder will take possession of, said Willie Whyte, chief executive officer of Los Angeles-based First FX, Inc., a company that helps people manage online trading on the Foreign Exchange.
		Admitting he wouldn't know one space shuttle from another, Whyte said all he knows is that the Buran to be auctioned has never flown in space.

	Halfbakery: Update the Buran
		They have devised special jigs in which the whole body of the car is mounted, and forces are applied to straighten out the car as a whole.
		It seems to me that such a jig for the Buran would cost a lot less than a whole new vehicle.
		It would be pretty ironic if Buran got revived because NASA didn't figure it out.

		According to public literature the Buran ejection seats were to use a solid rocket motor system that could propel test pilots up to 600 meters (1,800ft) from the Buran when flying at Mach 3 or less.
		It aims to develop a new manned taxi that builds on the legacy of the Soyuz rather than Buran or the US space shuttle.
		The Russian Space Agency (Roskosmos) is about to start its Kliper launch vehicle project, the head of the agency told a Moscow press conference Thursday, reports RIA Novosti.
