FS2004 Myasishchev 3M-T Atlant (atlas) space transport system. In the mid 1970s the USA began the development of a re-usable space transport system that soon became universally known as the Space Shuttle. The Soviet Union responded by launching the development of a comparable system, known to generally as the BURAN (SnowStorm). To transport the components of the Buran Space orbiter and Energia ultra-heavy space launch vehicle modules to the Baikonur, Kazakhstan launch site, the Myasishchev OKB proposed using the 3M bomber as a carrier. Engineering changes to the three 3MN Bison-B tankers selected for conversion to transports included a 7 meter up-swept fuselage extension, twin end plate square vertical stabilizers, and strengthened out-rigger struts.
