N1 moon rocket (356 words)
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 (12234 words)
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.
