Buran Russia's Space Shuttle
The First Space Flight
.
Buran Space Shuttle being
loaded onto Antonov AN-225
In our recent publications we’ve
told about the world’s heaviest and largest jet Antonov or AN-225 that
was designed for the Soviet space program in 1988 and able to airlift the
Energia rocket’s boosters and Buran about which we’ve told as well.
On the next photos one can see the complete process of launching Buran
into the space orbit.
And here you can find a photo
session from Ukrainian site
about what is now with Buran.
