Has Russia ever launched a space shuttle?
Russia was developing a space shuttle very similar to the United State's space shuttle called Buran (Russian for Snowstorm). The Buran program began in 1974 as a response to the United State's Space Shuttle program. The Russians believed that the US Space Shuttle could be a significant military threat, and had to be countered. Construction of Buran took place between 1980 and 1984. In 1988, Buran finally had its first orbital test flight. Buran was launched unmanned on an Energia rocket, and orbited around the Earth two times before doing an automated landing at the Baikonur Cosmodrome (Russia's manned launch facility). However that was Buran's only flight, and it was never flown again.
