Actually an unmanned flight is considerably simpler than a manned one. No crew means no concerns for environment, water, food, oxygen and guaranteed live return.
This was literally 80s technology at best - and first time, ad hoc put complete mission profile on totally new system. It was 2nd flight of Energya and 1st of Buran. Compare it to series of RUDs by SpaceX xD
@@Deproelior Nonsense. The version of the Soviet shuttle that flew was just a shell. It had no life support systems inside to support a crew. No galley, no sleeping quarters, no toilet. That would have come later had the program continued. A second vehicle was 90% finished when it was cancelled. The U.S. shuttle could have been automatic landing, but we preferred a live pilot.

Fantastic video. I gained an interest in Buran after living in the Arabian Gulf for many years. In Bahrain was what seemed to be a Space Shuttle parked on the Manama corniche. I just assumed it was some kind of mock-up, perhaps built for children's "Space Camps". I later discovered that it was actually 'Buran 002' - which by a convoluted series of events had ended up stranded and unwanted in Bahrain!

The most fascinating part of the video is that they attached modular jet engines to it and it was able to take off and fly under its own power. To my knowledge, they never did that with the American space shuttle.
13:36 - background music playing during Buran landing is taken from Soviet vinyl of 1980 "The Metamorphoses" which were collected electronic reworkings of classical music pieces, this specific composition is synthesiser version of "Sarcasms" for piano by Sergey Prokofiev.

Initail design was to mount 2 atmospheric engines from Su-27. While U.S. has airfields all around the globe, USSR had no, and the only chance to fly to the USSR territory in case of accident was to use airplane engines. Though before the first flight those engines was not ready and they were dismounted. And for developing a landing sequence (including autopilot) there were just added 2 additional engines. So pilots could takeoff from the ground, without need to use some bigger plane, like Boeing 747 in American programme.

Russian engineers hated the stolen shuttle designs, and could make head nor tail of the reason it was designed like it was, kremlin and military thought the shuttle was a weapon, engineers thought it was stupid. Shuttle was a travesty of politics, committee thought and non-direction kept alive through pride. The Russian engineers made considerable changes to make Buran and they ended up with what exists in this video, but after landing they convinced the leaders of what they had already realised it was way too expensive to launch, could not be rapidly refurbished, was surpassed in cargo lift by other rockets and surpassed in human safety potential by soyuz. The only thing the US shuttle was any better at than anything before was on-orbit repair, but is massively worse on every other metric due to compromise caused by Nasa fighting for budget. Buran tried to resolve some of these issues but lipstick on a pig, and you still have a pig. Nasa knew before the first launch how bad shuttle was compared to the initial proposals, Airforce supported first few launches, and sort of gave up, doing only a handful of launches over its lifetime rather than the proposed 10's per year, and everyone realised it was a dead duck well before it killed it's first crew. Shuttle / Buran looks like an awesome idea, and millions where inspired by it, but it was a fundamentally flawed design. I am glad that they gave up on Buran, but would have preferred them to develop one of the early shuttle concepts (DC3), which still used the piggyback design, was smaller, and had glide recoverable fuel tank / first stage, and used it as a dedicated hls as replacement to soyuz.

"far more advanced than anything at the time" Bullshit you say, babu. At that time the US had a Space Shuttle program fully up and running for 10 years already, where as the "Buran" program was just a "cargo cult" prototype at a very crude stage. The Buran program was a failed attempt of Soviet regime to showcase their capabilities and advantage which didn't exist. Soviet regime got hernia from this and other useless demonstrations they did to the world yet collapsed and passed away as expected. The Buran project is just a pure example of a simulacrum where symbols substitute the real sense of things.
The American Shuttles were fully automated too and if need could land fully on their own. In fact they were (and still are) the most advanced and complicated machines ever built.
Science, space exploration, peace, cooperation, friendship, mutual respect, medicine, art, sports, literature etc. Those are the things humans should focus on.
The first Space Shuttle could also land itself. The landing gear deployment was the only thing that needed a human, and that was done for political reasons to require a pilot be on board. After the Columbia accident they even automated that switch so that an orbiter could be land itself with no one on board in the event of a crew evacuation.
Unfortunate they didn't continue their program. It's a very interesting bit of history that would surprise most people I think. People who never knew, and still don't. Nice footage.

The blizzard (buran) from the video was blown up during repair work roof in his garage, the tool fell from a height on his oxygen tank and an explosion occurred. it was be full destroy Right now there are two burans left, these are just models and not flight samples. Russpace say that a new "blizzard" is already being built and it will be better.

There was no single & monolithic "state" in the USSR, it was as everywhere: lots of state agencies, with their own agenda and people's tastes or sense of what's "appropriate". There were no formal bans on any kind or title of foreign music, just approval/disapproval to re-publish locally, which was decided by art approval boards. By 1988 such boards were not working, for Perestroyka policy (started in 1987). Most of video editors or anyone at the age of 15-40 were fond of Western music, no matter what was their ideology. The most ironic example is "International Panorama" TV program (search RUclips Международная панорама 1988), the most distilled anti-Western propaganda, yet its intro music was American rock.

thats The Technik Buran. the Technik never went to space. only It was used for flight tests and had jet engines to make normal flights and when reaching a desired height, the jet engines were turned off and it planned. the American Enterprise did not have that and relied on a Modified Boeing 747
That was only for Flighttest. The Buran was much more Safer den the US Shuttel. First the have NO Dangerus Solidfule Booster. The can Abbort the Engine everytime. Up to Mach 1 The Have Ejectorseats for the Crew. AND The Buran can Land without any Pilot! The first and last Flight was VOLL Automatik with no one a Bord. The Buran in my Eyes had be the better Shuttle.
@@christianbenzinger770 saying it was safer than the us shuttle is very speculative with almost no real data to back it up. While the space shuttle obviously had some catastrophic failures, there’s no real way to know or prove the Russian version was better or worse because of it’s very limited amount of flight time compared to the us shuttle.
@@Bad666Moon we can extrapolate from Soyuz, the design from that era that still work. The thing is Soyuz is safe because it had abort options, and Buran has those too, which don't exist in Space Shuttle, meaning if the launch fail (ie: like Challenger) there's no fatality (ie: using ejection seat or booster shutdown) and the excuses in politics that cancel Space Shuttle is going to be minimal, and Buran can launch without cosmonaut, meaning if it fail to re-entry (ie: like Columbia) after deploying a satellite won't be a big news.
@@Bad666Moon You're absolutly right. But more security has been thought of than with the US shuttle. And in principle it is just a further developed space shuttle since, as is well known, the plans were stolen. Solid bosters are too risky in my opinion. Liquid thrusters can always be turned off. You could certainly have retrofitted ejection seats on the US shuttle. But there is also the danger that they can be accidentally triggered in weightlessness. In addition, they are only helpful for the first few moments at the start. But they have just given a little more thought to security.
Sadly this orbiter was destroyed in 2002 when the roof ceiling collapsed where it was stored in Kazakhstan. Meanwhile the other 2 prototypes are still there stored in Bikenor launch facility in Kazakhstan where they have been left to rust. Buran could have replaced NASA's space shuttle soon after it was retired. Buran could have been used to transport essential supplies to the international space station.
I think it is so sad that it only flew once, before the whole program was canceled. All that hard work, money, all that use of incredably smart minds, which all came to nothing. Even more sad is the fact that the first flight was such a raging success, it was all done automated, and in some ways it was possibly better than the US shuttle . Then the shuttles and boosters were left abandoned, and mostly destroyed when the hanger collapsed. So sad, it all should be in museums!

When I was in Moscow in 2005 one of them was on display in Gorky Park. It was playground equipment. Literally. Ladders up to the interior and slippery slides down to the sand. Interestingly their shuttle could carry a heavier payload to a higher altitude than ours, and was much cheaper to operate. Whether it would have done so safely is something we'll never know, but ours failed catastrophically 2 times out of 135 flights. A horrific safety record. And if we're being honest with ourselves our shuttle never once did what it was designed to do. Nor COULD it even if we'd wanted. It was sold as a reusable vehicle to place communication satellites and to retrieve them for repair. But geosynchronous-orbit comsats are 24,000 miles up. Our shuttle could only manage 500 or so with a heavy payload, thanks to bloated engineering. And by the time it flew the cost of comsats had dropped to the point that servicing them was no longer needed. They're just thrown away. That left our shuttle as a massive make-work project and political boondoggle in search of a mission. Remember all those "secret military missions" it did for a while? Those were just spy satellites. Congress forced the Air Force to use the shuttle instead of their own proven rockets in order to justify its continued operation. Other payloads, such as the Hubble, were inefficiently designed to fit into the the shuttle's cargo bay. ("All the eggs in one basket"......horribly expensive and unreliable.) And now.....we're begging rides from the Russians, using their 1960s technology. 'murica!
@@ksmashgamer5748 The United States has extended the agreement with Russia on the production on the US soil and use of Russian RD engines until at least 2030, with the estimate that by then they will be able to start the production of domestic engines, so America will have to rely on the Russians for at least another decade.
Ok, someone has to call you on your bloviating. The payload limits and cost to operate were never demonstrated because the Buran never flew a single operational flight. The original cost projections per flight for the Shuttle were pretty rosy too. 2 failures in 135 flights is hardly a "horrific safety record" in spaceflight. Spaceflight is dangerous. Soyuz has had far more failures over its history. The Shuttle absolutely did what it was designed to do. Whether that design was the best one is up for debate, but the shuttle launched many satellites, and it brought two of them back for repair. It repaired satellites in orbit as well. It built a space station. It performed countless long duration science missions. Shuttle was never intended to fly to geosync orbit, I don't know where you got that idea. You might as well complain that it didn't fly to the Moon. The Hubble was inefficiently designed? Based on what? The design of the Hubble was based on those military spy satellites. Perhaps you've been living under a rock for a while, but America has always had multiple vehicles to launch spacecraft into orbit, and we've had manned launch vehicles for nearly a year now. Soon to be multiple manned vehicles. Did you bitch this much during the gap between Apollo and the Shuttle too? But what do you expect from someone who can't tell a real spacecraft from a model in a park.
@@jerromedrakejr9332 There is a not insignificant geopolitical, social, and technical benefit to using those engines. Cooperation between Russian and American space enterprises has been a hallmark of peace for the past thirty years. It's not a bad thing to play nice. It helps everyone not wake up dead in the morning.
Holy crap that tiny aircraft carrying Buran! I had no idea there was another plane, much smaller than the Ukrainian Antonov An-225 Mriya, carrying Buran.
An-225 was completed before the collapse of Soviet Union so it is "soviet", not "ukrainian". The whole USSR (literally) was developing and building it.
Буран, спроектировали и построили в Москве в Тушино, на ТМЗ (скоро там вместо завода, всё застроят домами-человейниками). Вывозили его из цеха и везли по широкой улице Лодочная (специально расширяли в 80х, чтобы Буран отвезти до причала и погрузить на баржу). Главный конструктор; Глеб Лозино-Лозинский, жил недалеко на улице Свободы 61к1. Он есть в этом видео на 15 мин.19 сек.

Fantastic video. I gained an interest in Buran after living in the Arabian Gulf for many years. In Bahrain was what seemed to be a Space Shuttle parked on the Manama corniche.

I later discovered that it was actually 'Buran 002' - which by a convoluted series of events had ended up stranded and unwanted in Bahrain!
That was the Buran test vehicle, which is now in Germany.

Pity Russia did not continue the Buran program. The engineers and Russia deserved the success of the Buran concept. Thanks for sharing.
Russian engineers hated the stolen shuttle designs, and could make head nor tail of the reason it was designed like it was, kremlin and military thought the shuttle was a weapon, engineers thought it was stupid. Shuttle was a travesty of politics, committee thought and non-direction kept alive through pride.
The Russian engineers made considerable changes to make Buran and they ended up with what exists in this video, but after landing they convinced the leaders of what they had already realised it was way too expensive to launch, could not be rapidly refurbished, was surpassed in cargo lift by other rockets and surpassed in human safety potential by soyuz.
The only thing the US shuttle was any better at than anything before was on-orbit repair, but is massively worse on every other metric due to compromise caused by Nasa fighting for budget. Buran tried to resolve some of these issues but lipstick on a pig, and you still have a pig. Nasa knew before the first launch how bad shuttle was compared to the initial proposals, Airforce supported first few launches, and sort of gave up, doing only a handful of launches over its lifetime rather than the proposed 10's per year, and everyone realised it was a dead duck well before it killed it's first crew.
Shuttle / Buran looks like an awesome idea, and millions where inspired by it, but it was a fundamentally flawed design.
I am glad that they gave up on Buran, but would have preferred them to develop one of the early shuttle concepts (DC3), which still used the piggyback design, was smaller, and had glide recoverable fuel tank / first stage, and used it as a dedicated hls as replacement to soyuz.

С экипажем он не летал. Но не исключается на перспективу: остались 4 летных корабля (степень готовности: один -- 100% (Буря), второй 50% (Байкал), остальные примерно от 10 до 30%). Один на Байконуре, три на Тушинском заводе и в Жуковском. Есть еще полноразмерные летные (но только в атмосфере) макеты (один из них - на ВДНХ).

This program should not have been scrapped. What a magnificent achievement in spaceflight. A true heavy cargo spaceplane.
*You talk like it was their original Idea and that they didn't steal 100% of it off the USA. They couldn't steal everything and it went belly up. Russia is a terrible country unless you like corruption and Communism.* 🤔
Rumours say that NASA tried to revive it.
@@Rubensgardens.Skogsmuseum *Utter horse shit.*
Our death trap of a shuttle probably should have been scrapped, though. It's fascinating to watch a new golden age with the NASA-SpaceX partnership.
Here's a copy and paste from another comment addressing your comment .. Russian engineers hated the stolen shuttle designs, and could make head nor tail of the reason it was designed like it was, kremlin and military thought the shuttle was a weapon, engineers thought it was stupid. Shuttle was a travesty of politics, committee thought and non-direction kept alive through pride.
The Russian engineers made considerable changes to make Buran and they ended up with what exists in this video, but after landing they convinced the leaders of what they had already realised it was way too expensive to launch, could not be rapidly refurbished, was surpassed in cargo lift by other rockets and surpassed in human safety potential by soyuz.
The only thing the US shuttle was any better at than anything before was on-orbit repair, but is massively worse on every other metric due to compromise caused by Nasa fighting for budget. Buran tried to resolve some of these issues but lipstick on a pig, and you still have a pig. Nasa knew before the first launch how bad shuttle was compared to the initial proposals, Airforce supported first few launches, and sort of gave up, doing only a handful of launches over its lifetime rather than the proposed 10's per year, and everyone realised it was a dead duck well before it killed it's first crew.
Shuttle / Buran looks like an awesome idea, and millions where inspired by it, but it was a fundamentally flawed design.
I am glad that they gave up on Buran, but would have preferred them to develop one of the early shuttle concepts (DC3), which still used the piggyback design, was smaller, and had glide recoverable fuel tank / first stage, and used it as a dedicated hls as replacement to soyuz.

Absolutely amazing : a fully automated flight; far more advanced than anything at the time. It is very very sad that this was abandoned after the great success 😪😪😪😪Love from India!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

"far more advanced than anything at the time"
Bullshit you say, babu. At that time the US had a Space Shuttle program fully up and running for 10 years already, where as the "Buran" program was just a "cargo cult" prototype at a very crude stage. The Buran program was a failed attempt of Soviet regime to showcase their capabilities and advantage which didn't exist. Soviet regime got hernia from this and other useless demonstrations they did to the world yet collapsed and passed away as expected. The Buran project is just a pure example of a simulacrum where symbols substitute the real sense of things.
The American Shuttles were fully automated too and if need could land fully on their own. In fact they were (and still are) the most advanced and complicated machines ever built.
Not more advanced than anything at the time.
Science, space exploration, peace, cooperation, friendship, mutual respect, medicine, art, sports, literature etc. Those are the things humans should focus on.
Automatic landing 40 years before SpaceX!
Not powered landing. Not remotely similar.
Planes were landed automatically since 60s.
@@neplatnyudaj110
Planes don't travel six or seven times faster than a rifle bullet, nor do they leave earth's atmosphere.
@@jshepard152 Point being? Once the orbiter survives reentry, it's just a (pretty crappy) plane.
The first Space Shuttle could also land itself. The landing gear deployment was the only thing that needed a human, and that was done for political reasons to require a pilot be on board. After the Columbia accident they even automated that switch so that an orbiter could be land itself with no one on board in the event of a crew evacuation.
The video has made huge progress since that time.........Imagine this Buran flight with today's images....
Unfortunate they didn't continue their program. It's a very interesting bit of history that would surprise most people I think. People who never knew, and still don't. Nice footage.
Столько сил, денег, труда!!! Создали отличный корабль и все это пошло прахом, коту под хвост! Обидно до слез!

Great flight! Film I'd never seen before. And - THE FINAL COUNTDOWN! EPIC!
Incredible.....fascinating to see a jet powered test version....Never heard of this development.
Sad to know it sits abandoned and rotting away now. Great video coverage of this.
The blizzard (buran) from the video was blown up during repair work roof in his garage, the tool fell from a height on his oxygen tank and an explosion occurred. it was be full destroy Right now there are two burans left, these are just models and not flight samples.
Russpace say that a new "blizzard" is already being built and it will be better.
One of the Burans (with the jet engines) used to be in a park on Sydney Harbour about 20 years ago.

There was no single & monolithic "state" in the USSR, it was as everywhere: lots of state agencies, with their own agenda and people's tastes or sense of what's "appropriate". There were no formal bans on any kind or title of foreign music, just approval/disapproval to re-publish locally, which was decided by art approval boards. By 1988 such boards were not working, for Perestroyka policy (started in 1987). Most of video editors or anyone at the age of 15-40 were fond of Western music, no matter what was their ideology. The most ironic example is "International Panorama" TV program (search RUclips Международная панорама 1988), the most distilled anti-Western propaganda, yet its intro music was American rock.

thats The Technik Buran. the Technik never went to space. only It was used for flight tests and had jet engines to make normal flights and when reaching a desired height, the jet engines were turned off and it planned. the American Enterprise did not have that and relied on a Modified Boeing 747
6:38 I love the idea of using jet engines to propel a shuttle
That was only for Flighttest. The Buran was much more Safer den the US Shuttel. First the have NO Dangerus Solidfule Booster. The can Abbort the Engine everytime. Up to Mach 1 The Have Ejectorseats for the Crew. AND The Buran can Land without any Pilot! The first and last Flight was VOLL Automatik with no one a Bord. The Buran in my Eyes had be the better Shuttle.
@@christianbenzinger770 saying it was safer than the us shuttle is very speculative with almost no real data to back it up. While the space shuttle obviously had some catastrophic failures, there’s no real way to know or prove the Russian version was better or worse because of it’s very limited amount of flight time compared to the us shuttle.
@@Bad666Moon we can extrapolate from Soyuz, the design from that era that still work. The thing is Soyuz is safe because it had abort options, and Buran has those too, which don't exist in Space Shuttle, meaning if the launch fail (ie: like Challenger) there's no fatality (ie: using ejection seat or booster shutdown) and the excuses in politics that cancel Space Shuttle is going to be minimal, and Buran can launch without cosmonaut, meaning if it fail to re-entry (ie: like Columbia) after deploying a satellite won't be a big news.
@@Bad666Moon You're absolutly right. But more security has been thought of than with the US shuttle. And in principle it is just a further developed space shuttle since, as is well known, the plans were stolen. Solid bosters are too risky in my opinion. Liquid thrusters can always be turned off. You could certainly have retrofitted ejection seats on the US shuttle. But there is also the danger that they can be accidentally triggered in weightlessness. In addition, they are only helpful for the first few moments at the start. But they have just given a little more thought to security.
«Да, были люди в наше время, не то, что нынешнее племя!»

Буран 'внес большой вклад в пэрэстройку' меченой гниды, а его будущие пилоты - космонавты так и не увидели впп , как увидел ее робот пилот Бурана
It’s amazing that Buran had in theory more capabilities than the space shuttle.
Вот это уровень мышления у людей был! Не нынешнее племя. А Михал Сергеевич должен был присутствовать там, а не Родину продавать в это время!
Sadly this orbiter was destroyed in 2002 when the roof ceiling collapsed where it was stored in Kazakhstan. Meanwhile the other 2 prototypes are still there stored in Bikenor launch facility in Kazakhstan where they have been left to rust. Buran could have replaced NASA's space shuttle soon after it was retired. Buran could have been used to transport essential supplies to the international space station.
Incredible work by the Soviets. Such a shame it never went any further and now lays rotting in a giant hangar. Should be in a museum.
Remember. "Anyone who comes to us with a sword will die of sword." Russia.
2:50 Typical Russian take-off:
"How much runway we have left?"
"None"
"Hokay, rotate"
the state paid for all the runway, so you use all the runway!
I think it is so sad that it only flew once, before the whole program was canceled. All that hard work, money, all that use of incredably smart minds, which all came to nothing. Even more sad is the fact that the first flight was such a raging success, it was all done automated, and in some ways it was possibly better than the US shuttle . Then the shuttles and boosters were left abandoned, and mostly destroyed when the hanger collapsed. So sad, it all should be in museums!

Buran is a real masterpiece of engineering. Shame she is sleeping in a garbage.
this footage is pure gold!!!!
Артефакт развитой цивилизации. На кадре, где 3М разворачивается с Бураном на спине, дыхание перехватывает.
When I was in Moscow in 2005 one of them was on display in Gorky Park. It was playground equipment. Literally. Ladders up to the interior and slippery slides down to the sand.
Interestingly their shuttle could carry a heavier payload to a higher altitude than ours, and was much cheaper to operate. Whether it would have done so safely is something we'll never know, but ours failed catastrophically 2 times out of 135 flights. A horrific safety record. And if we're being honest with ourselves our shuttle never once did what it was designed to do. Nor COULD it even if we'd wanted. It was sold as a reusable vehicle to place communication satellites and to retrieve them for repair. But geosynchronous-orbit comsats are 24,000 miles up. Our shuttle could only manage 500 or so with a heavy payload, thanks to bloated engineering. And by the time it flew the cost of comsats had dropped to the point that servicing them was no longer needed. They're just thrown away.
That left our shuttle as a massive make-work project and political boondoggle in search of a mission. Remember all those "secret military missions" it did for a while? Those were just spy satellites. Congress forced the Air Force to use the shuttle instead of their own proven rockets in order to justify its continued operation. Other payloads, such as the Hubble, were inefficiently designed to fit into the the shuttle's cargo bay. ("All the eggs in one basket"......horribly expensive and unreliable.)
And now.....we're begging rides from the Russians, using their 1960s technology. 'murica!
The United States now primarily uses SpaceX Crew Dragon and upcoming Boeing Starliner for LEO astronaut travel?
@@ksmashgamer5748 The United States has extended the agreement with Russia on the production on the US soil and use of Russian RD engines until at least 2030, with the estimate that by then they will be able to start the production of domestic engines, so America will have to rely on the Russians for at least another decade.
Ok, someone has to call you on your bloviating. The payload limits and cost to operate were never demonstrated because the Buran never flew a single operational flight. The original cost projections per flight for the Shuttle were pretty rosy too. 2 failures in 135 flights is hardly a "horrific safety record" in spaceflight. Spaceflight is dangerous. Soyuz has had far more failures over its history.
The Shuttle absolutely did what it was designed to do. Whether that design was the best one is up for debate, but the shuttle launched many satellites, and it brought two of them back for repair. It repaired satellites in orbit as well. It built a space station. It performed countless long duration science missions. Shuttle was never intended to fly to geosync orbit, I don't know where you got that idea. You might as well complain that it didn't fly to the Moon. The Hubble was inefficiently designed? Based on what? The design of the Hubble was based on those military spy satellites.
Perhaps you've been living under a rock for a while, but America has always had multiple vehicles to launch spacecraft into orbit, and we've had manned launch vehicles for nearly a year now. Soon to be multiple manned vehicles. Did you bitch this much during the gap between Apollo and the Shuttle too?
But what do you expect from someone who can't tell a real spacecraft from a model in a park.
