# sm405 OK-M1/MMKS Energia-Molniya Buran-Maks project

OK-M1/MMKS Korolev`s Energia Space Corporation with Molniya project on base of space system Energia-Buran M. 25 cm (10 inches) scale 1/250 custom hand made by Energia corporation metal/resin model.There are two space planes on booster-Buran M and orbital space ship MAKS.Details on MAKS are below: The OK-M1 was designed by NPO Molniya as a follow-on to the OK-M of NPO Energia. The OK-M1 was an integrated part of a unique launch vehicle, the MMKS reusable multi-module space system. This consisted of three components arranged in parallel: an RVK unmanned booster stage derived from the Buran spaceplane; a PTO expendable external propellant tank; and the OK-M1. Six dual-thrust tri-propellant engines operated at lift-off: four mounted in the RVK and two in the OK-M1. These burned liquid oxygen and Sintin (synthetic kerosene) at lift-off, transitioning to liquid oxygen and hydrogen at higher altitudes. Within what would normally be the payload bay and crew cabin of the RVK spaceframe were Sintin and liquid oxygen tanks. The PTO external tank carried only liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen. After depletion of its propellants the RVK separated and glided back to a landing at Baikonur. The PTO/OK-M1 continued on into orbit, where the external tank was jettisoned. Total mass of the MMKS was 800 tonnes at lift-off. Price of model-*Availability and price check by e-mail or call.*.Please check availability prior ordering.
