A helicopter flies over Russian space shuttle 'Buran' as it is moved by a barge across the river Rhine in Duesseldorf, western Germany, 08 April 2008. The spacecraft is too unwieldy to be transported in any other way. The Russian shuttle, which orbited the earth twice during its working life, will become the world's first genuine space shuttle to go on view to the general public at the technical museum in Speyer.
