Thank for the link! Interesting stuff. What the hell's in the
background of picture #15? A Buran mockup?

It seems to be.

If those pictures are from where I think they have been taken, namely the
KISS assembly facility at RSC-Energyia, then it is definitely a Buran
mock-up, as there is one there. However, pictures are supposedly forbidden
there, so it may have been somewhere else.

I especially like the picture 15, of the Active Docking assembly. It's
straight the same as Progress ( which is also reused for ATV ). I wonder on
the drive electronic they will use for it. Will it be the old Progress one,
or a derivated of the new one ( devellopped for ATV )? The former is
well-proven, but a bit out of date. The later is more modern but still has
some teething problems.

Have a close look at picture 25, there's a complete Soyuz/Progress
orbital module tucked in there. The second picture down on
http://www.astronautix.com/craft/kliper.htm shows it more clearly. I'd
suspect minimal changes will be made.

Mentioned and under discussion over on s.s.p. for nearly a day now.

Try reading something other than s.s.h. Lot's of interesting stuff
elsewhere in the hierarchy... And this is on topic over there too.

And what about the s/n ration of OM.*? Many reports indicate
it is very unsatisfactory.

A particularly politically incorrect quote from the 1950's, Mr. Jones:
"Senator Joseph McCarthy is guilty of accusing individuals of being
communists...who are later found to _be_ communists."
And a particularly surprising rejoinder from myself: "Robert Mosley is
guilty of accusing individuals of being assholes...who are later found
to _be_ assholes."

I've always suspected you were a McCarthyite at heart, Pat
