Энергия — Буран (Energia-Buran) - Rollout / Erection / Launch / Orbit / Landing Footage

In recognition of the 30th anniversary of the launch of the Soviet spaceplane Буран (Buran), I put together a video showing the launch and landing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All video footage from: The video footage on is only viewable using their embedded Flash player. Since Flash is largely obsolete, (and getting it to work at all on modern web browsers isn’t particularly easy) I took some of their embedded footage and converted it to something more easily viewable on modern platforms. The website is also almost completely Russian and somewhat difficult to navigate without being able to read the language. I take no credit whatsoever for the content of the original footage. Check out for hundreds of pictures and video footage of the Buran spaceplane and related hardware including in-depth documentation, drawings, and history. Be warned, the vast majority of the content is in Russian. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Original footage properties: 720x576 25fps interlaced Deinterlaced to 50fps using AviSynth and QTGMC
