The Space Flight Info site tracked the descent in real time. Very
informative, feel free to check it out at the address below:

The temperature at the landing site was 25 F. This is pretty cold. No
wonder the Russians never put much effort behind the Buran. It would be
quite a challenge to land a winged aircraft in such conditions.
