Russian-made manned spaceship "Blanc" of the phantom that was torn down by the collapse of the Soviet Union

It is used for launching all manned spacecraft of Russia including the former Soviet eraBaikonur Space StationHas celebrated its 60th birthday this year. In a corner of the Baikonur cosmodrome, a phantom manned space ship buried in the history of Russian space development "BlancThere is a quiet place where facilities sleep.

The Baikonur cosmodrome is located in the east of the Aral Sea in Kuratam, Kazakhstan. The largest facility "Prikampromproekt" within the vast premises of the Baikonur Space Station.


The height is 62 meters, Prikampromproekt with a total length of 132 meters is overwhelmingly bigger than other buildings.


The inside looks like this.


As for why it is so big,OvitaBecause I keep "Bran".



Two blanks are kept.



Following the turmoil of the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the development plan for manned spacecraft Blanc was canceled and is not restarted now. These two Orbita are relics of the history of the former Soviet space development plan.


Three cranes have been installed in the facility that can lift weights of 400 tons.


The inside is said to be illuminated with old-fashioned incandescent lights.


There are dozens of passageways on the side so that you can work at all heights.



The passage is in a state of desolation.


A number of scaffoldings built like a jungle gym to surround Blanc.



Boarding bridge when boarding a blanc.


In the meantime, the inside of the facility is covered with huge iron pillars and beams so that it can withstand shock waves generated when the rocket explodes.


Bran had planned manned flight first in 1992 and was going to debut spectacularly in the universe. For Brand's aircraftspace shuttleUnlike the main engine for propulsion is not mounted, large rocket "EnergiaIt is carried to orbit by.


Brand of a day.


Now I am old with such feeling.



A horse (= rigid rack, horse jack) was put on and the aircraft was lifted.


The painting of the surface of the aircraft has also been bald.




Nose portion.


Bran that was put out for more than 20 years is said to have been stained by feces of migratory birds.



Reverse spray rocket is almost intact.



Another blun is relatively damaged, it seems to be less damaged.


Heat resistant tiles are stretched around.



Horses that support Blanc are on rails and can move the airframe.



The interior of Bran remains as it was at the time of development.


Cockpit is like this.


payloadportion.




Engine part.


The preservation state seems to be good.





The Russian space development plan still continues to utilize the heritage of the former Soviet era, there is no development of a new spaceship. As the Cold War is over and the Space Shuttle in the US who was a partner of the space development competition retired, Blanc continues to keep its presence as a legacy telling down the history of glory because of the Russian spacecraft project which tone down.
