Russia To Exhibit New Kliper Spaceship

Russia will exhibit a full-scale model of Kliper (pictured) during the MAKS international airspace show opening in Moscow next week, Perminov has said.

Moscow (UPI) Aug 10, 2005
Russian officials said Wednesday their country's new Kliper spaceship will never become an alternative to the U.S. space shuttles.

The Novosti news agency Wednesday quoted Anatoly Perminov, director of the Russian Space Agency, as saying: "Kliper will not be able to become an alternative to the shuttles neither by amount of astronauts transported by the ship, nor by loading capacity. That is why the assumption made by the media that with Kliper, Russia will be able to stop using Space Shuttles is not true."

Russia will exhibit a full-scale model of Kliper during the MAKS international airspace show opening in Moscow next week, Perminov added.

Officials said Kliper is to replace the disposable Soyuz spacecraft that is currently used to supply the International Space Station.

The main difference of the Kliper from the U.S. space shuttle project and the Russian shuttle Buran is that it is made of two parts and only the piloted compartment is capable of multiple uses.

The hardware compartment is disposable, just as are current Russian spaceships. One Kliper spacecraft will be capable of 25 space missions, MosNews reported.
