Where is Buran Now?

A total of five Burans were planned.

Space Shuttle 1.01

Space Shuttle 1.02

Space Shuttle 2.01

Space Shuttle 2.02

Space Shuttle 2.03

-Space Shuttle 1.01 was the only Buran to fly in space; it was destroyed in the Baikonur Cosmodrome hanger collapse in 2002.

-Space Shuttle 1.02 is the only surviving Buran, it is extremely difficult to find its location or photos of it. Shuttle 1.02 was 95%-97% complete, requiring only the installation of some computer software. Space Shuttle 1.02 was located in a the MIK building at the Baikonur Cosmodrome, though it may have been moved because a photo was taken of it outside mounted on an Energia Booster. Speculation has resulted from the photo because this Buran was never documented to attached to an Energia.

-Space Shuttle 2.01 was 30%-50% complete when the Buran program was canceled. It is currently stored at an aviation museum in Sinsheim, Germany.

-Space Shuttle 2.02 was 10%-20% complete at the end of the program. It was put outside of the factory near Moscow and vandals have stripped it of most of the heat tiles.

-Space Shuttle 2.03 was just started at the end of the program. It was dismantled.
