Historical Background

The Buran was the first spaceplane produced under the Soviet Union's reusable spacecraft program. Introduced in the 1980s, the Buran was designed to rival NASA’s Space Shuttle, featuring a similar design and functionality but with advanced automated systems. Despite its historic launch in 1988, where it completed two orbits of Earth unmanned, the program was short-lived due to funding constraints. The intricate design and technological significance of the Buran make it a favorite among space enthusiasts. This detailing kit authentically replicates the Buran's iconic features, delivering a historically accurate and visually stunning representation of the spacecraft.
