In this interview with aviation historian Michael Nelmes, we uncover the truth behind the USSR’s most ambitious space project.

Blue.HN7 on Instagram: "The Buran program was the Soviet Union's answer to the U.S. Space Shuttle, a reusable spaceplane system featuring the powerful Energia rocket and the Buran orbiter, designed for both crewed and automated spaceflight, though it only completed one successful, unmanned orbital flight in 1988 before the program was canceled due to the USSR's collapse, leaving a legacy of advanced technology and a powerful heavy-lift rocket. . . .
