Do you know of any more? Or any way to find some more on line.

I am half tempted to start searching in Russian to see if I can find better ones.

Buran flew once unmanned, completing two orbits before gliding safely to a landing in Russia. I do not remember if it used tiles or blankets for shielding, but the thermal shielding was not ablative, allowing the vehicle to be reusable.

Did the Buran use thermal tiles for heat shielding, an ablation shield, or something else?
