On November 15, 1988, a MTKS Energya-Buran flight was conducted. Burian made two orbits around the Earth without a crew and landed automatically. Buran's first space flight was the last. The launch weight of the ship is 105 tons, the landing weight is 82 tons. The length of the shuttle is 36.4 m, the wingspan is 24 m, the landing speed is 310-340 km / hour. The bow cabin had a sealed cabin for a crew of two astronauts or four passengers and six passengers. The returning Boron spacecraft was put into orbit using the energy rocket, which is capable of launching a payload weighing more than 100 tons into orbit. The power developed by its starter motors reaches 170 million horsepower. This is almost 3 times more than the most powerful American rocket "Saturn-5". After doing all the exercises before landing, the Buran went straight to the runway, landed, ran 1620 m and stopped in the middle of the runway. For the first time in global practice, a fully automatic landing of this type of spacecraft was conducted.
