OK-KS, Product 0.03 ( Orbital Ship-Complex Stand ) - a full-size comprehensive test bench of the Buran orbital ship, designed for software development, electrical and radio technical testing of systems and equipment, for testing air transportation. The largest in terms of volume and complexity experimental work was carried out among all technological models of the Buran. KS-OK differs from other stands in that it was equipped with standard on-board systems, a standard set of ground test equipment of the Buran spacecraft.

In 1983, the glider was delivered to NPO Energia for the retrofitting and deployment of a permanent complex stand based on it. Electrical tests at KS-OK began in the spring of 1984 . Comprehensive experimental work continued around the clock 1600 days and ended when OK "Buran" was preparing for launch in November 1988 . 189 sections of complex tests were worked out, 21,168 comments were identified and eliminated. The high efficiency of testing at KS-OK was ensured by a high level of test automation , which amounted to 77% of the total workload. The use of the OK-KS integrated test bench had an exceptional role in ensuring safety and reducing the time for ground preflight preparation of Buran OK, as well as in reducing material costs for its creation.
He was at the control and testing station of RSC Energia, in the city of Korolev . On October 15, 2012, in order to free up production facilities in the control and testing center, it was taken to an open area adjacent to the center building [1] [2] . Subsequently, after completion of the required amount of conservation work, OK-KS is planned to be installed on a specially prepared site on the territory of RSC Energia.
On June 16, 2017, in the city of Korolev, RSC Energia, the dismantling and dismantling of the stand prototype of the MTKK BURAN began for transportation and transfer to the Sirius Educational Center in Sochi, located in the Olympic Park. Transportation is supposed to be by land and water [3] . In August 2017, it is planned to complete the installation of MTKK “BURAN” in the Sirius Educational Center.
