Remark Photographer
CCCP-3501002 (cn 002) Russian space orbiter Buran on its way to the "Technikmuseum Speyer" near Mannheim just passing the Südbrücke in Mainz. This particular one never took off into the outer space but performed around 25 atmospheric test flights from 1984 to 1988. For that purpose it was equipped with normal jet engines to allow an independent take off. I really hope the guys in Speyer will repair most of the damages and give it a new shiny look in the original paint with the old soviet markings.
