Afaik, The Energia was only used for 2 launches: one put the Buran into orbit and one carried the secret Polyus "combat" satellite. The Mir was luanched using Proton. I didn't think the Buran ever flew. I thought it was just a showpiece so they could boast that they were keeping up with the west, much like the latest moonshot plans. There was at least one unmanned flight, 15 Nov. 1988. Then the project funding was cut back, and officially ended in 1993. |
