After several previous test flights, the official Buran was built, the first one numbered 1.01, which was the only space shuttle in the former Soviet Union to fly in space in autopilot mode, but it has been 7 years since the last flight, during which time it has completely lost the opportunity to fly again due to poor maintenance. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The second, project 1.02, was originally planned to be used for space flight in the second autopilot mode and docking with the Mir space station. Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, it was almost completed, and although it had not been flown before, it was also very risky to be able to fly into the sky after repairs due to maintenance problems.

Therefore, the final outcome of these two planes is probably the fate of entering the exhibition hall.

The Iraqi side is looking at two aircraft with project numbers 2.01 and 2.02, of which the first one has completed half of the construction period, while the internal electronic equipment has not been completed, and the second one has only 15 percent completed.

Iraq is most satisfied with these two aircraft, and in the past few years, electronic technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, and Iraq can use these technologies to improve.

Since the entire design staff is almost complete, after Iraq's funds are in place, the follow-up work of the Arab Space Corporation in the desert of southern Iraq will be carried out, and at the same time, high-thrust rockets similar to the Energy launch vehicle will also be assembled in the factory.

After several years of hard work, the first full-state space shuttle was finally born within the Arab Space Corporation in Iraq.

Today, it was its first test launch.

According to the characteristics of the USSR, the transshipment process was horizontal, therefore, after the transshipment was completed, a series of tests were carried out.

Journalists from many countries reported on this test flight, which marked that Iraq has become the third country after the United States and Russia to master a manned aircraft, which is a huge progress.

This is still an unmanned flight, from unmanned to manned, Iraq will need at least five years of journey, the first batch of Iraqi astronauts are being trained in Kazakhstan, Iraq's manned space project, it will take a long process.

Night is gradually falling, and the space shuttle on the launch pad stands quietly.

Compared with the American space shuttle, this Buran has some more reasonable design, the American space shuttle, there are three main engines in the tail, when entering orbit, the main engine and additional engines need to work together, and the Buran does not have a main engine, it is like a load on the side of the energy rocket, which greatly reduces the weight of the space shuttle into orbit, and at the same time makes room for the installation of a small maneuvering flight engine and a deceleration parachute. (Although they look like they're all hanging from a large cylinder, the difference between the American space shuttle is a huge fuel tank, and the Soviet one, it's a real rocket.) Moreover, safety should be greatly improved, and the space shuttle claims to be reusable many times, but the American space shuttle is far from the number of times it is claimed, and the engine used many times is a major culprit for the repeated failures. The Buran does not have this problem at all, but it is equipped with a small adjustment engine in the tail, so that when the Buran lands, it can use the small engine in the tail to make a powered maneuver flight, and land safely and accurately on the long and narrow runway, and in case of poor landing attitude, the shuttle can also be raised for a second landing, thus improving reliability. The deceleration parachute at the tail automatically pops up when the speed slows down to 50 km/h during the landing run, allowing the shuttle to stop at a short distance.

This project, in fact, in Soviet times, has already matured, and the only thing that needs to be continued is only test flights.

This spacecraft, which completed the final construction in Iraq, is already a full-state vehicle, including the life support system on it, including the two dummies installed on it, Iraq stands on the shoulders of the Soviet Union, and stands tall at once.

Buran needs to be carried by the Energy rocket before it can fly into the sky, and compared with the Space Shuttle, the Energy rocket is probably no less significant to Iraq than the Space Shuttle.

Sending a space shuttle of more than 100 tons into space is a rather huge project, and the Energia rocket, which was specially researched for the launch of this space shuttle, has been developed in the Soviet Union for several decades.

This history begins with the failure of the Soviet Union's lunar landing program, and the failure of the Soviet Union's lunar landing was due to the fact that there was no mature rocket engine to use, and the development of the Energy rocket began.

From the very beginning, this kind of rocket adopts a modular design, through collocation, to achieve different load requirements, for example, to send a load of 200 tons to low earth orbit, and a load of 30 tons

Directly to the Moon, or to Mars.

Its auxiliary thruster, using the advanced liquid oxygen kerosene engine RD-170, in later generations, by its booster, the improved Zenith series of launch vehicles, has been flying, its thrust is as high as 740 tons, is ten times that of the Long March series rocket engine, therefore, the Zenith series rockets, only need one such engine, it is enough to fly.

Moreover, the liquid oxygen kerosene engine does not have any pollution and is the most ideal rocket engine, and in this regard, the former Soviet Union is far ahead.

The main thruster is a liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen engine with a total mass of 800 tons.

It took the Soviet Union decades and nearly 50 billion rubles to finally develop a launch vehicle that far surpassed the Saturn-5, but it is a pity that in later generations, such an advanced launch vehicle only carried out two test flights, one of which was the flight of the Buran space shuttle.

At the wrong time, such a rocket, in the end, only has a subsystem, that is, the Zenith rocket that the booster has become, is still being launched commercially, and the engine of the main thruster is not sold, and this kind of rocket also ends without a problem.

With the Space Shuttle, Iraq must also have the Energy rocket, but for such a more expensive project, Qusay was not willing to spend more money, he only hired the chief designer of the Energy rocket, Gubanov, and a large number of other technicians, and then purchased various important parts and components, including two important engines, at the Southern Machine-Building Plant and other places, and then assembled them in Iraq.

Iraq's various industrial processing equipment has reached a certain height, and a large number of technicians from the Southern Machine-Building Plant have been invited, and they are not copycats of this kind of rocket, but completely remanufactured. Although important engines still need to be imported, Iraq will eventually be able to manufacture such advanced engines on its own.

It's a long process, but with these technicians now, Qusay is confident that great progress in Iraq's space program can be achieved.

The implementation of these projects has led to the technological progress in Iraq in materials, machinery, electronics, ecology and other aspects, and has stimulated the development of many high-tech projects, which have been transformed into progress in all aspects of civilian projects, and finally transformed into new economic growth points.

3/18/95, 8:30 p.m.

Located in the launch command hall five kilometers away from the launch pad, the atmosphere at the scene was serious. A stiff voice rang out inside the launch pad, thirty minutes ready!

As the countdown began, the launch had entered an irreversible process, and fuel had already been injected into the launch box.

The launch pads on the launch pad have begun to slowly open to both sides, and the Energy rocket and the Buran space shuttle stand quietly on the launch pad.

It was the last moment before it took off.

When the ten-minute countdown is over, the entire launch system begins to enter the self-test.

In the launch hall were not only Iraqi rocket experts, but also a large number of rocket experts from the former Soviet Union countries, including the main space shuttle development personnel, who were carefully operating in their respective fields.

Iraq has made great strides in electronic technology, and the supercomputer in the launch hall is made by Iraq itself using many self-produced CPU chips, and the computing speed has surpassed that of the system host at the Baikonur space center.

When the countdown was eight seconds, smoke billowed from the launch pad, and the main engine of the Energy rocket had been successfully ignited. The scene shook violently, and the whole big guy weighing thousands of tons began to be eager to try.

At the time of the countdown to zero seconds, the four boosters tied to the main body of the rocket began to ignite, and the rocket drove the Buran space shuttle, which was more than 100 tons, off the launch pad and pierced the sky.

The scene was jubilant, and the launch was a success!

The next step is to be able to get into orbit accurately!

One hundred and fifty seconds after launch, the booster rocket burned out and separated from the main rocket.

Four hundred and eighty seconds after launch, the Energia rocket gloriously completed its mission, sending the shuttle to an altitude of 250 kilometers and about to enter orbit.

Then, the main rocket fell off, and the Buran activated its own maneuvering engine, adjusted its orbit, and accurately entered a circular orbit of 260 kilometers.

An ocean-going survey ship in the Pacific Ocean accurately captured the shuttle, precise orbit!

The collapse of the Soviet Union led to the death of many projects, and some of them have re-established themselves in foreign lands and borne fruit.

With the abundant national strength brought about by economic development and the concentration of the strength of the Arab world, Iraq has come to the forefront of the world in the field of high-tech aerospace.
