Guest PasadenaCA Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 In 1988, the Soviet space shuttle Buran made its first and only flight. Unmanned, it orbited the Earth twice, then made an automated landing in the Baikanur base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PasadenaCA Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I found a fun little video on the Soviet shuttle program. I didn't know they were building a dozen or so--most near completion. They also built a huge, six engine transport jet to carry them around. http://youtu.be/N1-0hiWAf_I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
