[net.space] Russian Shuttle

fred (06/10/82)

	In reguards to the ABC report about the Russian Space
Shuttle, it has long been known that the Russians have been
working on their own version of a space shuttle.  Apparently
they have just performed an unmanned test flight and they recovered
their craft insight of some long range Australian  recon jets.
The recovery was in the ocean??, which I don't understand. Their 
shuttle is smaller than ours which is suppose to allow it to
land and almost any large airport, a definite advantage in time of
war. That is about all I know about it.
