Inspection of the Soviet space shuttle, Buran
Buran, the Soviet space shuttle, being inspected on the runway at Baikonur Cosmodrome, USSR, after landing. Burans test flight of November 15th 1988 lasted 3 hours and 25 minutes, during which time it completed 2 full orbits around Earth. Buran is remarkably similar in appearance to the American space shuttle, with one major difference. Whilst the American shuttle has its own engines, the rockets required to lift Buran into orbit are located on its launch vehicle, Energia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the inspection of the Soviet space shuttle, Buran, at Baikonur Cosmodrome in the USSR. After a successful landing, this remarkable spacecraft underwent meticulous examination on the runway. Buran's test flight on November 15th, 1988 was an awe-inspiring achievement that lasted for an impressive duration of 3 hours and 25 minutes. During this time, it completed two full orbits around our beloved Earth. The similarities between Buran and its American counterpart, the space shuttle, are strikingly evident upon first glance. However, there is one significant distinction that sets them apart. Unlike the American shuttle which possesses its own engines for liftoff into orbit, Buran relies on its launch vehicle known as Energia to provide the necessary propulsion through strategically positioned rockets. This unique design feature showcases Soviet ingenuity and engineering prowess. The photograph from Science Photo Library allows us to marvel at this iconic moment in history when mankind ventured further into space exploration through manned missions. It serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge beyond our planet's boundaries.
