The N1 (from Ракета-носитель Raketa-nositel', "Carrier Rocket"; Cyrillic: Н1) [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 ...

The only Universal Rocket to make it past the design phase was the UR-500 while the N1 was selected to be the Soviets' HLV for lunar and Martian missions. [67] The UR-900, proposed in 1969, would have had a payload capacity of 240 t (530,000 lb) to low earth orbit. It never left the drawing board. [68]

The engine was initially created to power the Block D stage of the Soviet Union's abortive N1 rocket. [5] Derivatives of this stage are now used as upper stages on some Proton and Zenit rockets. [6] An alternative version of the RD-58 chamber, featuring a shorter nozzle, was used as the N1's roll-control engine.
The rocket cleared the tower but by 12 seconds into the flight the fire had caused all but one of the remaining engines to fail, and the rocket fell back onto the launch pad. The resulting explosion destroyed the right pad, shattered windows six kilometres from the pad, and could be seen 35 kilometres (22 mi) away in Leninsk .
The sky turned from dark to light as the Space Launch System blasted out 8.8 million pounds of thrust to become the most powerful rocket to ever launch into space. Cheers washed across the space ...
Mock up of N-1. The N-I or N-1 was a derivative of the American Thor-Delta rocket, produced under license in Japan. The N stood for "Nippon" (Japan). It used a Long Tank Thor first stage, a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries-designed LE-3 engine on the second stage, [3] [4] [5] and three Castor SRMs.
