The Buran (Russian: Бура́н, IPA: [bʊˈran], Snowstorm or Blizzard) program was a Soviet and later Russian reusable spacecraft project that began in 1974 and was formally suspended in 1993.
It was a response to the United States Space Shuttle program.
Development work included sending the BOR-5 on multiple sub-orbital test flights, and atmospheric flights of the OK-GLI. The Buran spacecraft completed one unmanned orbital spaceflight in 1988.
Although the Buran spacecraft was similar in appearance to the NASA Space Shuttle, and could similarly function as a reentry spaceplane, the main engines during launch were on the Energia rocket and not taken into orbit on the spacecraft. Smaller rocket engines on the shuttle body provided propulsion in orbit and de-orbital burns.
Add-ons[edit]
For Buran orbiter[edit]
