Construction of 2.02 is believed to have begun in 1988. The spacecraft belongs to the second series of orbiters, whose design has been improved based on the experienced gained during the manufacturing and flight testing of first series orbiters.[2]
By 1993, when the Buran program was cancelled, orbiter 2.02 was in an early stage of construction (10-20 percent).[3] Only forward fuselage with crew cabin was completed. The incomplete 2.02 was later partially dismantled at its construction site and moved to the outside of the Tushino Machine Building Plant, near Moscow.
The right wing with landing gear produced for this orbiter, along with the left wing of article 0.05 and the fuselage of article 0.11 form a model of the Buran orbiter currently on display at VDNKh.[4]
Some of the tiles from orbiter 2.02 were sold and auctioned on the Internet.
