Inside the USSR’s secret space shuttle program Buran
During the Cold War, the Soviet Union secretly built its own space shuttle to rival America’s NASA program. Called Buran, it looked like the Space Shuttle but hid radical differences. In this interview with aviation historian Michael Nelmes, we uncover the truth behind the USSR’s most ambitious space project.

Soviet Space Shuttle Buran "Buran" was the Soviet equivalent of the US Space Shuttle. Only one Buran orbiter was ever made. It completed a single unmanned orbital flight in 1988. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the program was cancelled, and the former Soviet Space Shuttle stood derelict in a hangar at the Bakinour Cosmodrome (Kazahkstan). That shuttle was destroyed when its hangar collapsed in 2002. You can also see this video on my YouTube Channel at: https://www.youtube.com/wa
