STS042-80-00AV Moscow Moscow is arranged as a series of concen-
tric transportation routes crossed by straight spokes which lead
away from the Kremlin at the city center. One of the inner
rings, the Garden Ring, follows the line of the 16th-century city
wall and moat. Both this and the outer ring of the Moscow Circu-
lar Motorway can be seen. The Kremlin, established in the 12th
century, lies on the north bank of the winding Moskva River.
Very large high-rise buildings were erected after World War II.
Clusters of these produce a coarser pattern and can be detected
at two points within the outer ring road. Of the five airports
surrounding the city, Vnukovo Airport to the south is easily dis-
tinguished, and Sheremetyevo to the west can also be made out.
The once-secret Ramenskoye Airport>with the longest runways in
the world>lies under clouds to the northeast. It is one of the
sites for test flights of RBuran,S the U.S.S.R. equivalent of the
Space Shuttle.
STS-42 Earth observation taken aboard Discovery, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 103, is of Moscow (55.5N, 37.5E). Moscow is arranged in a series of concentric transportation routes crossed by straight spokes which lead away from the Kremlin at the city center. One of the inner rings, the Garden Ring, follows the line of the Sixteenth Century city wall and moat. Both this and the outer ring of the Moscow Circular Motorway can be seen. The Kremlin, established in the Twelfth Century, lies on the north bank of the winding Moskva River. Very large high rise buildings were erected after World War II. Clusters of these produce a coarser pattern and can be detected at two points within the outer ring road. Of the five airports surrounding the city, Vnukovo Airport to the south is easily distinguished, and Sheremetyevo to the west can also be delineated. The once-secret Ramenskoye Airport, with the longest runways in the world, lies under the clouds to the northeast.
