Soviet Space Shuttle Buran - News Coverage - 1988

Buran was the space shuttle developed by the Soviet Union with its first and only launch on November 15, 1988. The mission included only two Earth orbits and was unmanned. Welcome to the Shuttlesource space shuttle video archive highlighting rare and exclusive video celebrating the program’s 30-year history. Created for shuttle enthusiasts, historians or video creators, this project seeks to preserve and release original shuttle mission video for the historical record. Started in 2003 after the Columbia accident, I began the collection as a simple quest to watch some of the earlier program mission video which at that time was simply not available on the internet. With the help of private enthusiasts and NASA, I have now amassed a collection of over 2,000 hours covering every shuttle mission. Over time, this full collection is slowly being converted to a digital format and released. Thanks to all who have contributed your old and beaten VHS tapes and for those still with tapes sitting in a box please reach out. Enjoy the videos! Facebook:
