Super Soviet boosters rusted in storage for 20 years

After nearly two decades of abandonment in the warehouse, the Soviet powerful Energia rocket has deteriorated dramatically.

In the late 1970s, the Soviet Union built the Energia super-strong rocket model with the mission of bringing unmanned space shuttle Buran to space and competing with NASA's Saturn V missiles that used to ship American Apollo to the Moon. , follow Longroom.

The rocket is currently in an abandoned warehouse for nearly two decades at the Baikonur Cosmodrome launch yard, Kazakhstan.

Energia flew the test in 1987 and carried out the first task of bringing the Buran into orbit in 1988.

Initially the missile was planned for the mission to take the spacecraft to explore the Moon, but the mission was later canceled.The missile was abandoned in the warehouse after the Soviet Union disintegrated.

The rocket is made of ultra-light alloy, has a total weight of about 2.4 tons and is capable of pushing objects weighing 100 tons into orbit.

The number of missile numbers is blurred because the metal coating on the outside starts to rust and peel.

A steel frame is firmly reinforced to protect missiles from shock waves in the event of an explosion near the storage.

The large sliding door measures 42 x 36m, allowing the missile to be moved to the launch pad near the storage.

The top part of the rocket is designed based on the aerodynamic principle.

Despite being abandoned and seriously degraded, the technology of the Energia rocket can still be used by Russia in its plan to conquer the Moon by 2030.
