Buran energia launch ( Soviet Shuttle program )

unmanned test flight of Buran, 1.01 The Russian Space Shuttle, at 03:00 hours UT on 15 November 1988. The stack employed a specially modified Energia booster. This, the only flight of Buran, was 206 minutes (two orbits) in duration and ended with the landing of the orbiter at Baikonur Cosmodrome. A second flight may have been scheduled for 1993 but never occured as the Buran program had been cancelled prior to this time.
