It is a spacecraft with a take-off weight of 300 tons, which had to be put into an orbit of 200 km with an inclination of 51 degrees.

Its payload was 9.000 kg. After an acceleration up to M=0,8, the ramjet engine accelerated the aircraft up to M=5.

In the phase of its return to the atmosphere it could make a lateral maneuver up to 3.000 km. But instead of the MiG-2000 the Tu-2000 program was preferred.
