Federal Space Agency in the draft Federal Space Program (FCP) for the years 2016-2025 planned to create space rocket complex with a reusable launch vehicle of light class at the cosmodrome East. According to the newspaper “Izvestia”, it is a forward-looking rocket, including the winged first stage, which after the separation from the second stage of a one-time return to the starting area.

Funding for the project should begin in 2021. Total to create a new “Buran” to 2025 planned to spend 12.5 billion rubles . Testing is expected to begin in 2025.

The creation of the rocket will be engaged Khrunichev Center, who in 2001 proposed the idea of ​​it, and in 2011 has received from Roscosmos 250 million rubles on the formation of a sketch of the project . In 2013, the Central Institute aerohydrodynamical Zhukovsky (TsAGI) commissioned by the Khrunichev Center conducted studies and landing characteristics of the return of the winged unit, made in the form layout.

Press Service TSAGI then published the aerodynamic shape of the layout is being tested. skilled, he recalled the famous space shuttle and the Space Shuttle “Buran” . It is reported that in the process of developing a set of reusable launch vehicle may not maintain the features of the shuttles.

Reusable asked to create a system for the purpose of cheapening the cost of removing the payload into orbit. The Soviet system of “Energy-Buran”, as well as the US Space Shuttle are reusable launch vehicle into orbit. In the 1980s, the rocket “Energy” started twice, one of which – with the ship “Buran”. Both were successful run.
