The test flight of the unmanned reusable spaceship Buran took place on 15 Nov. 1988. This flight was preceded by 6000 tests, including tests of individual structural components. It is reported that the rocket's self-contained guidance system went into operation at 0536 hrs and emergency protection equipment at 0545 hrs on the day of the launching. After the spaceship's onboard systems had been put into the mode of independent orbital flight, comprehensive tests of the ship's structure, combined engine unit and onboard electronic, communications, automation, actuating and control equipment began. The testing of the Buran proceeded smoothly.
