This was the first ever space shuttle to make an uncrewed flight including an automatic landing. The place is Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan which is leased to Russia until 2050. The Cosmodrome is also world’s first and largest space launch facility. This particular hangar where Buran was kept fell in a sever storm in the 2000’s and badly damaged the shuttle.
