	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.
		Generally the N1 produced much more thrust than the Saturn V. However, as it used only kerosene fuel in all three of its stages, it had somewhat less overall performance than the Saturn; the N1 stack could place about 95 tons of payload into Low Earth orbit, whereas the Saturn V launched about 130 tons.

		By November, a mock-up was on the pad.
		The kerosene-LOX Block G rocket served as the fourth stage of the N1, and was to send the craft on its translunar trajectory.
		The spin caused the rocket to twist apart between the second and third stages.

		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 tank sections were built in Samara, then shipped to Baikonur for assembly of the launch vehicle.
		The first N1 was to have been moved to the pad by March of this year, but it won't even make that milestone by May. References: 376.
		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.

		These rockets would be used for a variety of missions such as lunar and planetary exploration and military operations.
		The most influential designer of rocket engines in the Soviet Union, Valentin Glushko, supported developing engines for the N1 using storable propellants, i.e., those that were suitable for use on ICBMs, which needed to be at a constant ready state.
		The N1 rocket (with the L3 spaceship complex attached) was a behemoth 345 feet (105 meters) long and weighing about 2,750 tons.

		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.
		It may be recalled that the N1 draft project of 1962 spoke of 'establishment of a lunar base and regular traffic between the earth and the moon'.

		That rocket was the N1, also known as the SL-15 or G-class booster in the West.
		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.
		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.

		The Russian moon rocket program was first led by Sergei Korolev (Sergei Korolev: more facts about this subject) until his death in 1966 and later by Vasily Mishin.
		The overall rocket system actually bore the designation N1-L3: N1 was the boost rocket, while the L3 was mounted on top for the trip to lunar orbit and, it was hoped, lunar landing.
		The N1 was a massive rocket comparable to the American Saturn V. It was designed to send 95 tons of payload into LEO, and stood over 100 meters tall — easily the tallest Soviet launch vehicle ever produced.

		For the rocket roll control, in less that a year, steering verniers were designed that used producer oxidizing gas and fuel taken from main engines.
		The rocket employed for this launch was considerably modified to eliminate the revealed drawbacks and increase the payload mass.
		Although the experience gained in designing and manufacturing, operating and ensuring reliability of the powerful rocket system N1 has been employed in full measure in developing LV Energia and is likely to find wide application in future projects, it is impossible not to admit that cutting down of work on N1 was a mistake.

		N111 using stages III and IV of launch vehicle N1 and stage II from rocket R-9A with a launch mass of 200 t and a payload of 5 t delivered to the artificial Earth satellite orbit 300 km high.
		On August 3, 1964, the Government Decree stated for the first time that the most important challenge to be meet in space exploration using the launch vehicle N1 was to explore the Moon including an expedition landing to its surface an its subsequent return to the Earth.
		The rocket complex including LV N1 and lunar system L3 intended for landing to the lunar surface and returning a crew of 2 to the Earth (with one crew member landing to the lunar surface) was designed as N1-L3.

	THE SOVIET MANNED LUNAR PROGRAM
		Like the L1, the Ye-8s were originally to be launched on the scaled down N1 rocket described previously, but this plan was cancelled in late 1965 when it became clear that the new N2 would not be ready in time (Hendrickx,1997).
		The first flight-ready N1 carrier rocket had been installed on the newly constructed launch pad as early as 7 May 1968, but had to be returned for repair when cracks (possibly caused during installation of the payload) were found in the first stage.
		The escape rocket pulled the payload (an unmanned real LOK orbiter) away from the rocket, which was then destroyed by range safety.

		While the West was mired in confusion and decadence during the 1960s and 1970s, the pure and dedicated scientists designed and built the original N1 rockets.
		Glushko, the Soviet Union's premier rocket propulsion expert, felt that it would be prohibitively expensive to build immense oxygen-hydrogen engines like the F-1's that would power the American Saturn V. Instead, he proposed large engines burning unsymmetrical dimethyl hydrazine (UMDH) and nitrogen tetroxide (N204).
		The launch of "Cyclone-3" rocket carrier scheduled for the 25th of July from the launching site of "Plesetsk" and postponed by the State commission for technical reasons for the 26th of July, has been postponed again.

		(A comedy of errors if there ever was one.) They made a rocket engine out of aluminum, and it melted.
		Then they would learn interesting facts like the melting point of aluminum being 1218°, and the melting point of copper being 1981°, which pales in comparison to cheaper and stronger steel, with a melting point of 2400° - 2750°.
		There's no need to re-engineer the jig with temperature-resistant materials--just do what the genii at XCOR do, and point the engine sideways.
