@RealRusty Das Wichtigste auf Deutsch: Gemäss Seite von FAA mit der Analyse der Emissionen für New Glenn basierend auf Feuer-Tests und 12 Starts pro Jahr, erhalten wir eine Zahl, die 54500 Mal geringer ist als die Emissionen der Zivilluftfahrt, die etwa 2 % der weltweiten ausmacht.

“My responsibilities included developing and refining instructions for various stages of preparing the orbital ship Buran at the launch complex, as well as for the ground test complex from which the launch was controlled.” #ElenaPronina on her responsibilities in Buran program

@zergotron yes, it is sad. I guess people did not see any value in it. besides, the frustration about the cancellation must have been huge. it’s a nice piece of memory you have here!

@geniavp How many interesting parts from the Buran spacecraft were thrown into the trash: I worked for the last 25 years in the MIK site 254 and miraculously saved for myself, for example, this example of the EVTI with a unique designation

Photo of the pass on the name of #ElenaPronina which allowed access to the bunker just 5km away from the launch tower, from which the launch was controlled

@ShuttleAlmanac thank you! no, I only know Irina Yakovlevna Pronina. There are some more photos of Baikonur, but they are more personal and she does not want to share them for now. Besides, before 1991 it was strictly forbidden to bring any photo equipment to the site.

@11K25_Energia so cool! thank you for sharing it. I will send it to my aunt. unfortunately she can only access the archive with the VPN and they also have frequent internet disruptions in Russia, so for her it is not easy to go through the archive herself

Here's another vantage point. The hatch covers one of the hydrogen fill ports for the fuel cells. Also note the incomplete thermal protection system, with some tiles absent from the wing glove and missing thermal blankets on the payload bay doors.

@astrogrant thank you for sharing it. As Buran first flew in 1988, Elena was just 25 years old!

My aunt #ElenaPronina who worked on Buran, has some more photos from Baikonur in her archive, but since they are more personal, she does not wish them to be published. If something changes, I will let you know ☺️
