Summary
"Energiya-Buran: The Soviet Space Shuttle is the first comprehensive book on the Soviet space shuttle program to be published in English. It makes use of exclusive Russian source material, including a contribution by Igor Volk, a former Buran cosmonaut. A unique insight is given into the rise and fall of a program which could have rivaled NASA's Space Shuttle project, but which in its homeland is now considered only a museum piece."--Jacket
