Editing Buran programme (section)

== List of vehicles ==
Five orbiters were planned to be built (designated 1K-5K, K stands for {{langx|ru|label=none|Корабль|lit=craft, flying article}}), with hull numbering starting with 1 or 2 (e.g. 1.01), two originally ordered in 1970s and three ("second series") additionally ordered in 1983.{{citation needed|date=April 2020}}

For research and testing purposes, several test articles were produced, designated 1M-8M (M stands for {{langx|ru|label=none|Макет|lit=mock-up}}), with hull numbering starting with 0 (e.g. 0.02). The programme prefix OK stands for {{langx|ru|label=none|Орбитальный Корабль|lit=Orbital Vehicle}} and carries the [[GRAU]] index number 11F35.

By 1991 two operational vehicles were delivered to Baikonur, three others were under construction at the Tushino Machine-Building Plant (TMZ) near Moscow.

Most of the geo-locations below show the orbiter bodies on the ground; in some cases [[Google Earth]]'s History facility is required to see the orbiter within the dates specified.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.buran-energia.com/ |access-date=20 February 2015 |title=Buran-Energia |first=Vasili |last=Petrovitch |archive-date=5 September 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170905161253/http://www.buran-energia.com/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.russianspaceweb.com/buran.html |access-date=20 February 2015 |title=Buran |first=Anatoliy |last=Zak |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150215094534/http://www.russianspaceweb.com/buran.html |archive-date=15 February 2015}}</ref>
