Buran Soviet Space Shuttle : Snowstorm In Space - An Orbiter Film By Timm Humphreys
An Orbiter Film by Timm Humphreys. The Soviet Space Shuttle Buran ('Snowstorm' in Russian) was to be a response to the American Space Shuttle. It was to be lofted into orbit on the Energia Heavy Lift Booster system. The Buran is the only shuttle to fly launch to landing unmanned, coming to wheel stop only 5 feet from the runway centerline. It could have serviced the Mir space station, and later assisted in construction of the ISS, filling the 2 year gap in assembly flights after the loss of shuttle Columbia. The Russian shuttle system showed innovation and potential, but after the collapse of the Soviet Union, funds dried up, and the program was officially cancelled in 1993. If you would like to learn more about the Buran Shuttle, a great website is www.russianspaceweb.com/buran.html.
This movie consists of clips from my various mission simulations using the Buran/Energia vehicles, showing orbital ops (satellite deployment, retrieval, repair) and servicing of the Mir station.
Thanks to Yuri Kulchitsky and Vadim Lukashevitch for the Energia add-on, and J. Kanois and Mark Petroff for their Buran shuttles. And as always, thanks to all the other talented Orbiter add-on developers and special thanks to Dr. Martin Schweiger for Orbiter. Since 2002 your beautiful creations have made my spaceflight dreams come true.
