- The N1 was the Soviet counterpart to the US Saturn V Apollo program and was intended to enable crewed travel to Earth's Moon and beyond. All four attempts to launch an N1 failed, with the second attempt resulting in the vehicle crashing back onto its launch pad shortly after liftoff and causing one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in human history.

This did happen, but this video is animated. It did not fall intact as this video suggests.
It's from a video game.
Ah. I noticed during the fall that the sound was synced perfectly, which would not be the case with a camera located miles away. Also, they dubbed in a sound clip of thunder as the crash explosion.
@@mkvv5687 miles?? It was in soviet union - no miles there.
@@alexeynezhdanov2362 You're right. That must explain it.
@@Galactis1 which video game?
30 engines, all-analogue control, vacuum tube electronics. One could never suggest that Korolev was not ambitious. RIP.
But in the last launch of 1972, the rocket was already controlled by a digital computer
starship attempted it today.
Same results, it went uncontrolable and started rolling.
N1 was too ambitious for its time.
Эту ракету разрабатывал Челомей, не Королев. Королев умер за долго до этого.
Причина падения была в ошибке программирования управлением тяги двигателей. Двигателей было 32. Если падало давление в камере одного из них, то для балансировки снижалась подача топлива в другой, симметрично к нему расположенный. Череда таких регулировок привела к падению общей тяги ниже критичного уровня.
Комиссия сделала заключение что причиной крушения стал выход из строя датчиков давления в камерах сгорания. Разработчики датчиков с этим не согласились, но их влияние сильно уступало влиянию более именитой компании, разработавшей систему управления.
@@theepashmani6474 starship was fliping due to damage from the launch pad to its engines and thrust vectoring controlls.
Too bad it didn't fall on Putin, history woulda been changed:-/
For those wondering about the lattice of [tilted] struts below and above the middle second stage, those open interstages allow the second and third stage engines to ignite *before* the previous stage completely shuts down.
This era in Soviet rocket science considered the open interstage system very reliable and simple; they *avoided* using small ullage rocket thrusters for the propellant tanks during staging.
However, the open lattice is heavier than ullage thrusters plus a closed corrugated sheet metal or fiber resin composite interstage.
I read something long ago - probably apocryphal - that stated that air forced through these grids would help burn excess fuel, potentially increasing thrust a little. Can't remember where I read it, it must have been an article over twenty years ago!
The Americans figured out the extra weight you mentioned negated the benefit.
Still a neat design though. I have a soft spot for soviet rockets.
Pretty sure Titan rockets had this as well.
@@calvinnickel9995 The Titan II, at least. The top of the first stage had vents and shattered away from the vehicle.
Elon has embraced the same design to relieve destructive pressures between stages. That's physics.
Who holds a patent on physics.
It was the plumbing that killed this beauty. Everything else about it was incredible. But back then, there was no way to properly compute fluid harmonics and that tore the plumbing apart and ended this work of art.
That and the fact the engines couldn’t be tested before being used and the fact there were so many engines without computers capable of controlling them. At least one failure was due to an engine failing and causing a cascade of engines cutting out.
@@ryanhamstra49 I would hazard it failed because fluid hammering and instable flow. They are sensitive things and don't do well if that get messed up.
@@kurtu5 that’s possible. But the one that crashed, the engines were supposed to turn the opposite engine down to make sure it didn’t get imbalanced thrust and so whatever caused one engine to fail, when it went to turn the other engine off it was miswired and turned the wrong engine off, causing the computer to get confused and shut down more engines.
Да просто правительство почувствовали себя суперменами,и не дали возможности для полномасштабных огневых испытаний!!! Победа первого пилотируемого полёта,затмила разум...☹️
Well, unf. rocket science is at least 85% plumbing.. lol.
What a pity that this impressive rocket was so unsuccessful
No pity, make better rockets!
It's all a part of the process
Impressive missile.. impressive rocket if it worked 😊
@@bboi1489 too bad the process lost them the moon lmao
@@Harold-TheJass-Blingman 🤣
WHAAAAAAAAT!!!! The best renditioning I have ever seen! Great job!
😆😆😆😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👌✌️
Who’s gonna tell him?
Challenger is better😁
@@bruhv_9329he knows its a rener, wth do you mean
I was waiting for Godzilla to be watching it from the hillside.
😆
Damn. I hate seeing them fail. But they kept trying, and wound up with something more important than Moon landings. A permanent Space Station.
The N-1 was so ashamed of its underperformance that it went behind a ridge to blow up. When the starship was blowing up at least it blew up in full view so that's major progress. And the last test didn't result in an explosion.
Motto: Don't be afraid to fail in front of others because it doesn't have to define you if you don't let it!
"Our Germans are better zan zeir Germans."
~ Wernher von Braun in "The Right Stuff"
The Soviets did it without Germans.
@@joeharris3878 eekh capture of v2s and assembly line with engineers boosted stale soviet rocket engines development. so not entirely without ze germans, but who knows if Korolev would have and engine to put in his rockets without krauts.
@@leszekzajac7772 Indeed, who knows. But for sure the US government would not have put a satellite in orbit in the 1950s without
the Germans. I grew up in Huntsville. There was one engineering firm in the town there prior to the army moving its missile program there.
My father worked for that company. Work at Restone arsenal quickly became the bulk of their business. Daddy said the Germans ran the whole show.
That's one sexy rocket.
> What was sad is that in one try, it actually was just seconds away from staging to the much more reliable 2nd stage.
The crash from this resulted in the largest man-made, non-nuclear explosion in history. Miraculously, nobody was hurt.
We’d probably have two moon bases on the moon right now if this badass rocket didn’t fail 😔😔😔
Yeah and we will probably be on Mars too.
You guys still can't let go of the past can you?!?!
Не сбывшиеся мечта Королева.
Russia: "FTS?.......Rocket either go zoom or rocket go boom!"
actually r7 family of rockets are most reliable platform to date, same goes for the soyuz.
Rocket Science 101: The rocket nozzle must be able to handle high temperatures for a long time. This one did not.
Искусственные пятна на пленке, как будто старт был в 1869 году
The guy .. mowing his lawn . on the other side of THAT HILL… is going to be really pissed off !!
That moment when you see a video you have never seen before but due to circumstances should have seen over a dozen times.
I hate to nit pick on something this EPIC, but I think you need to blur the N1 a little. The film look and exhaust are perfect but the open stage-braces look a little too sharp compared to everything else. Again, it's just magnificent work.
"Thunderbirds are go!"
That rocket was so massive it even accelerated the speed of sound
N1 blow up on the table, not even take off.
Amazing you can hear the Explosion before you see it
In Soviet Russia, sound is faster than light!
The better to serve the Masses!
All hail Kommunizmos!
All hail Marxist-Leninist victory of the People!
Hahaha 😂
I noticed that too. Another commentor said it is because the latter part of this video is CGI. The rocket actually broke apart due to aerodynamic forces before it struck the ground 😮
@@ernesthill4017the wholw video is cgi there is no footage of this launcj
its amazing how ahead of everyone the soviets were. They even had color photography and incredible stable zoom capability before the west.
No....color photography existed way before the USSR existed. And this is an animation. The Soviets did have good rocket technology which was derived from the German rocket technology, as was ours.
@@paulscanter5562 relax, it was a joke.
Fred, you cad
The Soviets were ahead of the US for a short time because they had more powerful rockets. That didn't last long.
@@FredPlanatia
These days, it's hard to tell sometimes. I once was told straightfacedly by someone that a black person invented the light bulb. And the automobile.
I first found Hazegreyart years ago while searching for a simulation of this famed rocket crash and have been instantly rapturously hooked ever since.
В тоталитарной стране бездарное руководство бездарно израсходовало и уничтожило идеи и труд конструкторов и как обычно скрыло свой провал.
The act of space travel is a very complex and challenging venture. And as such, success is not always guaranteed in every mission especially the initial ones. But significant lessons are drawn from the mistakes of any failed mission or launches and these lessons are used to correct any anomalies and prevent a reoccurence of such mistakes, thereby increasing the chances of successful subsequent missions.
Not bad, I like the film grain. Need more stuff flying out of the explosion.
A tire flying out of an explosion is tried n true..😅
Man that's a lot of ignition taxes, the ozone is not self healing
Very well done animation
That’s one of the most beautiful rockets I have ever seen
Great CGI... I was thinking, this camera stability is better than today
Too bad they never made it into space. If Koroljow hadn’t died mid-way through the development phase, maybe there could have been a second nation on the moon
Aren’t you supposed to keep your foot on the gas Until you’re in orbit
That's the sound of Saturn 5
Surprised they didn't destroy rocket when it started developing flight abnormalities
I thought you said you filled her up with gas before we launched.
What goes up must come down !!
Rest in peace, Serhiy Pavlovych Korolyov, Ukrainian rocket engineer.
Rest in pieces 🫡
@@wazzabyss5702 have some respect, that man died
This was manned? There was no LES!?
@@bboi1489 no n1 launches were manned iirc
@Sergal Cube Not one N1 launch was manned, if you can call that luck. Korolyov was the engineer in charge of the programme, completely anonymous until after he died. He is called the father of human spaceflight for good reason.
I believe this footage is a fake, of not accurate representation.
Also, 91 people were killed on the ground at Baikonur Cosmodrome in the depicted incident. May they Rest In Piece.
Marvelous technology for the time.
And so it evolved
Советская Н1 и Американская Сатурн 5,они просто огромные!
It was so far ahead for its time that the technology of the day could not keep up. This is an elegant solution compared to the crude design of the saturn 5
huh? Saturn V worked.
Did you use a stock audio clip of thunder for the explosion?
Another one simply blew up on the pad.
It was a plumbing nightmare.
Two blew up on the pad.
That rocket was way ahead of its time. Way too complex for the available technology. So many points of failure... A shame it had to be grounded.
That one screw: Nah I'd win
They were ahead, even had invisible selfie stick attached to their rocket.
There’s lessons learnt here from the crash 💥 which motivates you even more to start again and make way for improvements from mistakes I guess
This mirrors the rocket image from the Wernher von Braun writeup "Man will conquer space soon!" (1952) of a hydrazine-nitric acid powered lifter except that it was topped with a finned re-entry vehicle.
That’s not pollution!
Its been exactly 53 years
Imagine how far we would be now, if we would not have stopped rocket developments for 60+ years.
The rocket's auto-destruct, would have gone off, the instant it's trajectory was off past a certain point, or launch control would have destroyed it manually. It would not have made it that far down, in 1 piece. Great effects tho.
You can say whatever you want to but it was a cute looking rocket.
That is why engineers hate moving parts
This was the Soviet moon rocket. If it hadn't failed, the Soviets might have made it to the Moon first.
They have made it to the Moon first - Луна 2
I’m not sure they would have made it first! Their rocket program was waay behind the NASA one.
However IF they would have made it, this would have changed the NASA goals for the following decades: a Moon base in the late 70s, flybys to Venus (Apollo Applications Program), Skylab 2 AND going to Mars in the 80s!!
@@ciprianionpau4126 their rocket program was way ahead of NASA! The deciding factor was politics in the end. Congress gave them full funding to guarantee Apollos success. Roscosmos suffered at the hands of it's own government and still do to this day
was that a manned rocket? thought I heard decades ago, they lost their moon rocket on the pad. after USA landed on moon , Soviets wouldn't admit there was a race.
@@Michael-rt1ik I believe it was a test mission much like the artemis launch last year, all of the n1 launches were unmanned.
Energiya rocket- twice successfully launched Soviet moon rocket. Not this one, named N1.
That's very nice landing😊
Did the N1 utilize a FTS? I do believe one flight made it far enough off the ground for FTS activation. I wonder if the RSO lost his job.
the N1, a URRS rocket for the mun, but it was a big fail
Just like watching Starship.
Just that starship wasn’t expected to make it on the first few test flights
This is cgi if u didn't know. At least it landed, no unscheduled disassembly... perfect!
How you do this fantastic animations?
The most BADASS looking rocket.....EVER
I need to build it!!!
I wish it had worked so NASA's budget wouldn't have been cut
This reminds me of the 80's tv shows. Where the helicopter would go behind the hill and blow up.
Это не правильная анимация. У него не отказала первая ступень, а рано включилась вторая нагрев топливные баки первой ракета цепочкой взорвалась
В каждой аварии, с этой ракетой, были свои причины. А анимация вполне достойная.
Nice animation.. but what is this thing burnin, Kerosine or firewood ??
Blazin a trail.. in the woods.
that rocket never flew, blew up on the ramp and completely destroyed it, the soviets never repaired it
Oh, but it did fly just not very far. It failed each of 3 test flights. Below is an excerpt from a Wikipedia article.
". . . .each of the four attempts to launch an N1 failed in flight, with the second attempt resulting in the vehicle crashing back onto its launch pad shortly after liftoff. . ."
The N1 was an awesome piece of engineering. But trying to get 30 engines to function in unison was overly ambitious.
Man, it began to spin on all 3 axis.
Есть мнение что этот эффект похож на воронку в ванне когда спускаешь воду! Из-за кругового расположения двигателей
91 people lose their life when this tragedy happen 😢
For anyone not aware of it, this is a cgi animation the actual explosion - which you can find on youtube - was considerably more dramatic
Why do these crashes always happen on the other side of a hill? I’ve seen way too many TV shows where the jet or helicopter dips and always behind a hill, then kaboom…and queue the ball of fire and smoke. CUT!!😒
Launch escape system: YOU MOTHER FUCKERS COULD HAVE USED ME
Why what would it save?
@@peeperleviathan2839 the crew module?
@@grady631 there was no crew sow hates the point
Even watching it now so many years later you can sense the immense power of the incredible peace of hardware......😢😢😢💪💪
starshipsky 1.0
This is why 33 engines is a bad idea.
A bad idea then, but being proven not a bad idea now! Fixed it for you. You're welcome.
Good CGI. Way too sharp tho, and the specs and dirt effect is way overdone.
Most powerful non nuclear explosion
This failures was not the most powerful non nuclear explosion. In fact, the July 3rd explosion of the N1 set that record.
No it wasn't, that was another completely different N1 launch
No. That was the 2nd launch
Not the Halifax explosion?
A claim often repeated, but far from true. There are quite a few more powerful examples, mostly accidents involving cargo loads of munitions or fertiliser. The N1 explosion was impressive, but it's nothing compared to a cargo ship loaded with high explosives...
Looked like both fuel capacity and flare sustain issues. The bottom Dry-mass infastructer, already appeared too heavy. NO self destruction mechanism, Oh baby, the FAA must have dig that fall!
Some commenters seem to believe it was what? Floating down to earth??
This kinda reminds me of that recent Starship launch! lol
Did the "N" stand for "not getting to the moon first"?
What doesn't go all the way up...will come down
That crash was simply unbelievable. Do I don't.
No large explosion, since nearly all fuel had burnt-out the empty tank before crash.
Precursor to the much more reliable RD 180....so this effort was not in vain
Flying this thing in "Mars Mission" is so tough!!
nice animation, thou original never even cleared the tower...
It goes behind a hill and blows up
Вот красота Ракета Н1
Почти похоже... но компьютерная графика выдает недокументальность...
Never before seen video. Amazing!
This sums up the whole Russian Space Thing.
Thank God I follow Everyday Astronaut where I saw the real footage
