Shuttle Ptichka

(Redirected from Ptichka)


Ptichka(Buran 1.02) is a space shuttle that was created by the Soviet Union. It was the second space shuttle from the Soviets, the first being Shuttle Buran. The name Ptichka means "little bird" in Russian. Ptichka was never finished, but of the Buran shuttles it was the closest to being completed (after the Buran 1.01) when the program was canceled. The Buran and Ptichka shuttle series are now being auctioned at 4-50 million dollars apiece.

Ptichka is currently the property of Kazakhstan.
