The Buran program, officially the Energia-Buran program (Russian: Энергия-Буран, meaning "Energy-Blizzard"), is the manned launch vehicle program operated by the Soviet Union. The program began in 1974, initially as a response to the suspected military aspects of American Space Shuttle program. The program gained new light after the establishment of SAKA in 1992, when the new agency favored the program's aspects to bring back enthusiasm to the Soviet space program. The first manned mission took place in June 1994, and missions to the Mir and Mir 2 began in 1996. In February 2003, the Buran program would prove to be a life-saver after damage to the wing of Space Shuttle Columbia stranded the astronauts in space.
