Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Integration of Buran and Energia
The Russian Space Shuttle Buran, being integrated with its Energia launcher. Buran made its only orbital flight on 15 November 1988, an unmanned test mission. A total of five shuttles were built, known generically as the VKK (Vozdushno Kosmicheskiy Korabl = Air-Space Ship). Buran was only qualified for a single flight, the second and third being qualified for up to 25 flights. The fourth vehicle will be used for training, whilst the fifth is reportedly available for sale. The VKK differs from the US Shuttle in having no main engines of its own; launch thrust is provided by the Energia rocket, currently the worlds most powerful

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of integration between the Russian Space Shuttle Buran and its powerful Energia launcher. The image showcases the remarkable engineering feat achieved by the Soviet Union in their ambitious space program. Buran, also known as VKK (Vozdushno Kosmicheskiy Korabl), embarked on its maiden and only orbital flight on 15 November 1988, marking a significant milestone in manned spaceflight history. Five shuttles were constructed under this program, each with unique capabilities. While Buran was qualified for just one flight, the second and third shuttles were designed to undertake up to 25 missions. What sets VKK apart from its American counterpart is that it lacks main engines of its own. Instead, it relies on the immense thrust provided by the Energia rocket – currently recognized as the most potent rocket worldwide. This integration process symbolizes a harmonious collaboration between two extraordinary pieces of technology. The fourth vehicle within this program serves as a training tool for future cosmonauts, while reports suggest that the fifth shuttle is available for sale – an intriguing prospect for any space enthusiast or collector. This awe-inspiring photograph not only showcases technological prowess but also represents a pivotal moment in human exploration beyond Earth's boundaries. It stands as a testament to mankind's relentless pursuit of knowledge and our unyielding desire to push boundaries further into outer space.
