The N-1 Rocket
Photos where the main subject is the N-1 rocket itself, and it's systems.

  • n1-stitched-on-carrier-remake [en]Remade stitched panorama of the N1 3L on the carrier.
  • wings-on-block-g [en]Wings on Block G exterior - that is the LOK being lowered into it - note the distinctive ring of small antennae.
  • third-stage-base [en]The base of the third stage of the N-1 rocket, without the fairings. The outer cones are NOT the engine exhaust bells. This is actually a 1/5th scale model, used for (aero?) dynamic testing.
  • third-stage-and-upper [en]Third stage of the N1 with upper stages attached. This is actually a 1/5th scale model, used for (aero?) dynamic testing.
