It may seem to you that there are few things left unexplored in the world. But from time to time, archaeologists find something amazing, which reminds us how many mysteries history has left us, writes punct.tv.
Russian photographer Ralf Mireb, researching the Baikonur Station in Kazakhstan, discovered an unusually huge building. Driven by his curiosity, he sought to find out what that building was.
Apparently, it was a building built during the Cold War.
The object operated until 1993, shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and was designed to house Soviet-made spacecraft.
Three ships were built, of which only one served its purpose and since then the ships have remained unattended. Even though the given object has been abandoned, it is still in good condition.
The condition of the ships is not as good as one would like. Once the pressure sensors stopped working, the infiltrated dust caused irreparable damage to the spacecraft.
The size of the installations and the ships is fascinating. Unfortunately, without proper care, everything will be lost forever.
Surprisingly, the damage suffered for decades has been relative. Just a few broken windows. The holes in the ship’s nose are the engines themselves.
These were used to make small adjustments when the ship was in space. The cockpit was the best of all parts of the ship.
There are several hundred more pictures of these abandoned objects on Ralf Mireba’s blog.
Incredible, isn’t it? It’s amazing how history can surprise us. Nobody knows what can be hidden near us.
