2.01 Third flight copy

33
Delight! Just puppy enthusiasm to climb the metal structure, trying to detect the entrance, then slowly go to the ceiling along the bending boards ahead, to where the cabin is, in the hope that it will turn into it. Descend and climb stairs again, crawling through the hatches, and then reaching the goal, stand up in full growth on the roof. Just like in childhood, when my friends and I discovered a graveyard of decommissioned equipment in a bus depot. But it was just an old public transport, and here ... a real spaceship.



The failed pride of the national cosmonautics - the head modified orbital ship 11Ф35 of the second series (the third flight) - the 2.01 product, bought by a pharmaceutical company, after several turbid resales of either Germany, or Bahrain and many years standing on the quay of the Khimki reservoir, finally found refuge in Zhukovsky. It will be restored and shown at the International Aviation and Space Salon MAKS.



His more successful counterparts also sailed along the Moscow River from the Tushinsky Machine-Building Plant, so that they would be loaded onto a large-tonnage aircraft at the airfield in Zhukovsky and taken to Baikonur.


Only this time this rarest transportation of a spacecraft by water was not classified.

2.01 Third flight copy





Quite front view







I could not miss the opportunity to climb inside.


View of the flight to the internal volume











Command module



Here I could not resist and for the first time in my life I photographed myself on a mobile phone against the background of something.



And got out on the "roof"





Already getting out of the bottom, about the same as this girl. Local residents, having heard about the spacecraft, began to fill the pier.






That most famous ceramic tile, more precisely heat-resistant coating. I did not break off the memory, although it costs 3000 dollars apiece.



Unusually light, even weightless, despite its thickness. Inside as a foam, tried to set fire - does not burn. Still, it maintains the temperature of 1600 degrees. But then its cover can be broken with a slight touch of a finger.



If you read ridus_news twitter community, you might know the time when the spacecraft will sail past the Kremlin. Or maybe even make a frame like this. Join the community and be the first to know.

    Thanks to the campaign that helped save one of the greatest achievements of the USSR, not all comedies were scotched and this gives me timid hope.

      How can you be so dismissive of your history? As I remember today the flight of "Buran" on November 15, 1988. I was proud of my country. So you see a drunk bureaucrat, ready to sell anything and everything for a couple of hundred dollars.

        Confession of the traitor:

        I sold it for pennies, I got 3 thousands of rollbacks, I went abroad for the first time with this money, I spent everything, up to a cent on rest, I could not stop.

      I am also very grateful to the Technische Museum Speier, and to his employees who saved and made the center of the OK-GLI cosmonautics exposition! millions of tourists from all over Europe can touch the greatness of Soviet engineers and workers.

    I looked at the photo and caught myself on the fact that I was immediately overwhelmed by two feelings, pride and hatred. Pride for the GREAT people and the GREAT MOTHERLAND, which was able to create a technical masterpiece and hatred of the existing government, which turns the GREAT achievements of the GREAT people into dust and rust ...

    I still remember how we congratulated our company for participating in the project, after the "Buran" landing! The whole country (USSR) was building! Will someone be able to create something similar on their own now ?!

    Only for this Gorbachev must be judged. Ruined, or rather sold the country, with such potential. Shards of power are now scattered or destroyed in the open spaces of the former USSR. The phrase Gorbachev means a traitor, will remain on him forever.

    Maybe not just someone but we all. Now, if we all take up our MOTHERLAND together, then we will build RUSSIA which will surpass the USSR, the power of RUSSIA in the friendship of its peoples soldier

    And I served 84-86 in the brigade of search and rescue ships of the Black Sea Fleet. Rescue of the astronauts who splashed down. The Energia project was called BOR. Unmanned orbital rocket plane. He went up with an ordinary rocket and splashed down. The first descent was in the New Zealand area. The rest are in the Black Sea. There was pride in the country. Such projects!

      Not development.
      And the whole project.
      General missile launch was considered as a possible option and nothing more.
      Mriya An225 was built for this. And not for transportation.
      With the transportation of Buran and 3M coped.

    Baikonur has a shitload of barracks built from plywood "sandwiches" between 1980 and 1990.
    Inside, these "sandwiches" are filled with the same thermal insulation as the Buran coating.
    Light as fluff and does not burn. Although really very fragile.
    Panel 3 by 4 meters four warriors without too much difficulty dragged and installed.
    Moreover, these barracks, with a thickness of 100mm, were incredibly warm in the winter and in the heat it was not hot.
    Although in the heat on the outside of the panel it was possible to fry fried eggs.
    It would be the most of them to build temporary houses for fire victims and flooded houses.
    However, it seems to me that headquarters and barracks buildings such on Baikonur and in the vicinity are still standing and used.
    Some of them fell into the frame with the fall of Proton.

      I think this is some kind of production waste, because you simply can’t imagine what the cost of this material is. If you build a barracks from it, the amount is just fantastic. I just worked on the production of these panels

    I would like to bow my head before the GENIUS of Soviet people. I do not want to sprinkle ash on my head, but that was a time of great achievements !!! I am proud that although I was a child, I found him !! God grant that our children would have something and whom to be proud of.

    It's a pity such a project fell apart recourse , but they could give him the mind to our storm, but somehow you won’t fly far away with our missiles and even each launch is expensive, plus half the budget is pulled am and foreign parts and this is another reason to steal some money. In short, you need to change missiles to more advanced technologies and the snowstorm is very suitable as a project !!!!

    Yes .... the project was quasi-promising ... my entire adult life was and remains connected with space ... I served in 88-90 in the now deceased military unit 12471, which was just engaged in launching and orbiting URKTS Energia- Buran "... I took part in the launch of 88 flying machine in '1 ... after, in '90, I came to work at NPO Energia, went to Baikonur on a business trip just for publishing. 11F35 at 254 site ... Buran assembled - 2 flight ... then entered MIREA, but did not work with a blizzard at the test site ... only on Energia itself ... after the topic was closed, the complete set was partially transferred to the departments that developed devices and products , and most of them were destroyed - by running cables 36 meters long under an ax ... the heart was bleeding ... the devices that were not given away went under the disassembly of the cases, but the offal went under the hammer ... all relays, boards, parts were destroyed ... pipelines PGS systems - the same into metal ... heat exchangers - into metal ... then they got rid of the SEP ... transferred to the morflot .. and that year they took out from the KIC building - a mock blizzard KS having disguised it on the street ... it's a pity!

      The prefix "quasi", when added to nouns, forms nouns with the meaning of falsity or imagination of what is called a motivating noun ◆ hero → quasi-hero, art → quasi-art, science → quasi-science, progress → quasi-progress (Wikipedia). Is that subconscious? The USSR overstrained on such gigantic projects, trying to resist everyone in all areas, unfortunately, first of all, in the military
