Buran

Buran was the Soviet Union reusable spaceplane, built as the centerpiece of the Buran program in response to the American Space Shuttle, and visually similar to its American counterpart though it launched atop the expendable Energia rocket rather than using its own main engines. It flew only once, an uncrewed orbital test flight on November 15, 1988, completing two orbits of the Earth before landing autonomously. The Buran program was suspended after the collapse of the Soviet Union and formally cancelled in the 1990s, and the original Buran orbiter was destroyed in 2002 when the hangar roof housing it collapsed.
