The structural dimensions and structural weight of the Soviet Buran spacecraft are given. The landing complex for the Buran is located 12 km from the launching installation. It includes radar equipment, range finders, Kurs and Glissada landing systems, a system for controlling air traffic in the vicinity of Baykonur, special transfer devices, and a 6-story building with an instrument and scanning room on its top story. The landing complex's radar equipment is capable of detecting the returning spaceship at a distance of 400 km and an altitude of 40 km. Displayed on screens in the main control room are data on altitude, distance, azimuth, speed, alignment with the central line of the runway, programmed and actual flight paths, equipment in operation, and information from an escort plane.
