  N1 moon rocket
View of he 1st stage of the N1 rocket on the launch pad in the winter of 1969.
Originally proposed as a multipurpose vehicle for a variety of military and scientific tasks, the N1 evolved into a project with a single mission -- to beat America to the Moon.
However, the N-1's catastrophic failures during four test launches in 1969-1972 doomed the Soviet effort to land a man on the Moon and left the ill-fated rocket under a veil of secrecy for decades.

 N1
First launch of the N1 was to be by the first quarter 1966, with manned lunar landings in 1967 to 1968.
The N1 mockup was again erected on the pad, in order to conduct tests of the L1S payload in advance of the availability of the 3L launch vehicle.
Although a first manned lunar landing was not achievable, the N1 could still be used to establish a lunar base by the beginning of the 21st Century.

 Sony Cyber-shot DSC-N1: Digital Photography Review
The N1 features a new album function that automatically stores up to 500 of your favorite images in VGA resolution, and uses them to create dynamic slide shows with music and transition effects – in the camera.
Moreover, the N1 offers excellent ISO sensitivity, which is of particular importance when shooting in low-light conditions.
Because you will take hundreds or perhaps thousands of pictures with your N1, the album function lets you protect the images you want to keep, so that over time you will have a collection of your favorite photos with you wherever you go.

 The N1 Story - Part 2
By upgrading the N1 from a 75 tonne to a 95 tonne payload capacity it was felt possible that a single N1 launch could accomplish the mission.
The plan was for the first launch of the N1 to be in the first quarter of 1966, with the first lunar landings in 1967 to 1968, ahead of the American goal of 1969.
The new Block R for the N1 was to have an empty mass of 4.3 tonnes, a maximum fuel load of 18.7 tonnes, and would have been 8.7 m long and 4.1 m in diameter.

 Aerospaceweb.org | Ask Us - Soviet N1 Lunar Rocket
Despite its size, the payload carried by the N1 was only about 70% as large as that launched to the Moon by the Saturn V. While the Apollo missions carried a crew of three, two of whom would land on the lunar surface, the Soviets designed their craft for only two crewmen.
Just four days after the N1 launch failure, cosmonauts Georgi Dobrovolsky, Viktor Patsayev, and Vladislav Volkov were killed while returning to Earth at the conclusion of their Soyuz 11 mission.
I suspect you may be confusing the crash of the second N1 that occurred 17 days before the Apollo 11 landing with an unmanned Soviet probe that crashed on the lunar surface during the Apollo 11 mission.

 N1 rocket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
N1 or N-1 was the Soviet rocket intended to send Soviet cosmonauts to the Moon, preferably ahead of the Americans.
The N1 was the largest of three proposed designs; the N2 was somewhat smaller and intended to compete with the proposed UR-200, and the much smaller N3, which would replace his "workhorse" R-7 rocket.
The N1 was a very large rocket, standing 105 metres tall (345 feet) — among the world's launch vehicles, second only to the Saturn V in height, mass and payload.

 Building N1™ Grid Solutions: Realizing the Vision > Properties of an N1 Grid System   (Site not responding. Last check: )
An N1 Grid system is constrained to being within a single data center, although clusters of N1 Grid systems, both within a single data center or spread across a number of data centers, might act like and exhibit many, if not all, of the same attributes as a single N1 Grid system.
N1 Grid solutions are also service-centric, and typically, not all of the components or tiers of a service are deployed on a homogeneous environment.
With N1 Grid systems and their focus on the description of the service, the emphasis shifts from the repetitive and often manual tasks associated with deployment and ongoing maintenance of components to actually defining and setting up the service properly so that ongoing maintenance can be optimized or automated.

N1 is a crucial element to Sun's holistic computing strategy to concentrate not just on piece parts but on integrated collections of computing equipment.
A member of Sun's new Java System software family, N1 is designed to unite computing resources into larger pools that can share work more efficiently than the separate computer systems that prevail today.
The rest are using either pilot versions of the full-fledged N1 data center version, which supports a much broader range of hardware than the blades edition, or the Pirus storage system, Zheng said.

 Sun to reveal details on N1 initiative
Although Sun has said little about N1, which was first detailed to analysts and select customers in February, in a Network World interview in August, Sun Vice President Rob Gingell described it as Sun's future computer architecture.
Sun's Gingell said N1 would exploit the fact "that programs are becoming graph-structured things in the sense that they are a bunch of elements that are connected with different network connections, even if they live in a single box."
Ultimately, Gingell said, N1 will make it possible for an administrator to give finance priority, and the distributed network resources would be driven to accomplish that, "giving administrators the same sort of control over the network that they used to have over a single box."
