The N1 (from Ракета-носитель Raketa-nositel', "Carrier Rocket"; Cyrillic: Н 1) [5] was a super heavy-lift launch vehicle intended to deliver payloads beyond low Earth orbit. The N1 was the Soviet counterpart to the US Saturn V and was intended to enable crewed travel to the Moon and beyond, [6] with studies beginning as early as 1959. [7] .

The N1-LK-LOK or N1-L3 (original) was a Soviet rocket that competed with the Saturn V during the Space Race in the late 1960s. It was cancelled due to lack of funds and constant failures, and only flew four times.

The Soyuz 7K-LOK, or simply LOK (Russian: Лунный Орбитальный Корабль, romanized: Lunniy Orbitalny Korabl meaning "Lunar Orbital Craft") was a Soviet crewed spacecraft designed to take humans from Earth to orbit the Moon, developed in parallel to the 7K-L1.

The LOK launched once (Kosmos 382 7K-L1E, a dummy of 7K-LOK). The Krechet lunar spacesuit and support systems were tested. Four N1 test launches in 1969 (twice), 1971, and 1972 were failures, despite improvements after each crash.

Feb 21, 2020 · The N1, or Raketa-nositel "rocket-carrier", was a Soviet heavy-lift launch vehicle intended to send Soviet cosmonauts to the moon in the late 1960s and early 70s. The L3 complex was the four-component system designed to fly and land cosmonauts on the moon.

The N1 launch vehicle for the N1-L3 lunar landing mission as described in the draft project of 1964. Design requirement for the single-launch lunar-orbit-rendezvous lunar landing was 2750 metric tons liftoff mass and 95 metric tons low earth orbit payload.

The N1 was a super heavy-lift launch vehicle intended to deliver payloads beyond low Earth orbit, acting as the Soviet counterpart to the US Saturn V. It was designed with manned extra-orbital travel in mind.

The N1 was the launch vehicle for the planned Russian crewed lunar missions and produced by the design bureau that is now known as Energia. The N1 was comprised of a first stage with 30 NK-15 engines using RP-1 and LOX, an eight-engine second stage using RP-1 and LOX, a four-engine third stage using RP-1 and LOX, and a single-engine fourth ...

The N1/L3 was a super heavy-lift launch vehicle intended to deliver payloads beyond low Earth orbit. The N1 was the Soviet counterpart to the US Saturn V and was intended to enable crewed travel to Earth's Moon and beyond, with studies beginning as early as 1959.

Aug 26, 2024 · The N1 rocket, known in Russian as “Ракета-носитель”, which translates to “Rocket-carrier”, was the Soviet Union’s massive heavy-lift launch vehicle developed in the 1960s with the ultimate goal of sending Soviet cosmonauts to the Moon.
