A tour group just returned from Baykonur with great photos
A tour group just returned from Baykonur
with some routine launch pad (and Nedelin disaster site) photographs, plus some great new view INSIDE the outdoor-parked Buran. See http://www.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/c...089/index.html. Reconstruction work appears to have started on the collapsed roof of the Buran/Energiya hangar, bldg 112: Look at the right roof edge, where it's being repaired: http://www.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/c...es/Img_061.jpg |

How to watch a launch up close and personal. http://www.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/c...s/Img_040.html Where you can feel it as well as see and hear it. I wish NASA had a viewing area a mile or so from the pad, where people could build their own bunkers to get an up close and personal view of a Shuttle Launch. Environmentally friendly bunkers, of course, as it is a wildlife refuge. -- Craig Fink Courtesy E-Mail Welcome @ |

Unless things have changed -- my info is old -- the Foreward Fireman Team (the descendant of the Apollo-era Astronaut Rescue Team) is about a mile from the pad, in armored personnel carriers. Apparently they have occasionally accommodated a guest, although considerable political pull (and preferably military firefighting training) is required to arrange it. -- spsystems.net is temporarily off the air; | Henry Spencer mail to henry at zoo.utoronto.ca instead. | |

This is the photo bunker next to Pad 41 where Nedelin and the others died.

See http://www.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/c...089/index.html. It actually says "Buran prototype" and it's hard to say how close it is to the real thing. Some parts of its hardware are definitely not flight worthy, such as those ugly stand-offs on the back. http://www.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/c...s/Img_018.html Cheers, D~ -- http://www.air-space.us/ The News and Discussions Platform for the Airspace Community no-spam Web and RSS access to sci.space.station,sci.space.history,sci.space.shut tle,alt.astronomy - messages and counting! +------------[ NASA FACTS ]---------------+ | Although other planets have rings too, | | Saturn's rings are the only ones that | | are visible from Earth even with a | | small telescope. | +-----------------------------------------+ |
