The first comprehensive book on the Soviet Energia/Buran programme in English. Tells the fascinating story of the effort designed to keep up with the United States in the Cold War in space. Provides information never before published in the West that has become available in the past fifteen years.

This absorbing book describes the long development of the Soviet space shuttle system, its infrastructure and the space agency’s plans to follow up the first historic unmanned mission. The book includes comparisons with the American shuttle system and offers accounts of the Soviet test pilots chosen for training to fly the system, and the operational, political and engineering problems that finally sealed the fate of Buran and ultimately of NASA’s Shuttle fleet.
