Buran spacecraft’s model appeared in Astana

Earlier, models of Soyuz, Proton, Zenith rockets in full size were set in the museum of the capital of Kazakhstan.

Astana open-air museum composition includes also a model of Buran spacecraft, BNews.kz correspondent reports.

It should be noted that the open air museum composition is located on the left bank of the capital, on an area of 1.4 hectares. Earlier the models of the Soyuz, Proton and Zenit rockets were installed in full size there. The territory around the exposition was landscaped. Moreover, special information stands to depict all information about missiles is placed: technical characteristics, history of creation and operation are installed at the territory as well.

For reference: "Buran" is a reusable orbital ship of the Soviet reusable transport space system, produced as a part of the Soviet/Russian Buran program also known as the VKK Space Orbiter programme - a Soviet and later Russian reusable spacecraft project that began in 1974 at the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute in Moscow and was formally suspended in 1993. In addition to being the designation for the whole Soviet/Russian reusable spacecraft project, Buran was also the name given to Orbiter K1, which completed one unmanned spaceflight in 1988 and was the only Soviet reusable spacecraft to be launched into space. The Buran-class orbiters used the expendable Energia rocket as a launch vehicle. They are generally treated as a Soviet equivalent of the United States' Space Shuttle, but in the Buran project, only the airplane-shaped orbiter itself was theoretically reusable. While Orbiter K1 was recovered successfully after its first orbital flight in 1988, it was never reused.
