Fun Fact: the N1 a rocket designed in the 1960's in the soviet union with slide rules out preforms Starship/superheavy the biggest rocket ever made. and it doesn't outperform it by a small margin but almost by double.
It must have been an exciting time back then in the late 60s / early 70s. And where are we now 60 years later - not much further on... A complete generation without a real step ahead in space travel.
Sorry, what? The Shuttle? Numerous Russian launches and space stations. The ISS space station. Unmanned missions to Mars, flying a robot helicopter on another planet? Deep Space 1. Ion drives. The turnover of low earth orbit to commercial development as government invents another industry. The beginnings of warp drive.
Yeah, there's nothing wrong with a lot of engines in a single sentence. In fact such an approach makes it easier to maintain the vehicle. You run into problems when your engines suck and literally can't be tested before being used, and your vector is controlled by thrust differential rather than gimbaling. But mainly if the engines suck and can't be tested. That doomed all four N1 flights.
@@VEC7ORlt Sure, that's true enough. But it's worth underscoring that both solutions-many small engines or a few big engines-should work just fine, all else being equal. The problem remains that the N1's engines were designed to work exactly once and so they couldn't be tested before launch. Combine that with poor manufacturing standards and the result is really kind of obvious in hindsight.
This is far beyond an awesome video! I never imagined the scale of the rocket as it is filmed here! I knew it was big, but just how big... WOW! It's a shame that Sergei Korolev's dream was never fully realized. The effort to put together something like the N1 is so off the scale, especially when one puts it in the context of the Soviet centralized hierarchy! What a man he must have been to take it as far as he did! I feel sad for him and all who put every fiber of their being into making this baby go! 00:56 - You gotta love a guy in the Soviet Rocket Service wearing a Hawaiian shirt to work!

What amazes me is that this was done with slide rules,graph paper, drafting tables and simple computer programming,quite primitive compared to the vast amount of technology used today….fascinating and fantastic!😮

Klasse Bilder und tolle Leistung Russland! Eure Wissenschaftler und Ingenieure haben schon echt tolle Maschinen gebaut. In der Luft- und Raumfahrtechnik macht euch keiner etwas vor. Schön, dass IHR die Guten seid!
I do believe they would have succeed to bring a payload in LEO if the 2 next flight hadn't been cancelled (8L and 9L). Even the fourth flight was 7 sec away of second stage hot firing. It's easy to write this, hindsight is 20/20 but what I love about the USSR moon program is that chief engineers were already thinking of the next step: a moon base around 70's/80's. The USA would have been in a bit of a pickles as NASA was transitionning from Saturn Apollo to Space Shuttle in the 70's. Space shuttle would have continued development but politicians would have pushed for an american manned structure on the moon as quick as possible. Well who knows...
A little comparison: N-1 4 starts, 4 disasters, 0 successful starts Staurn V 13 starts, 0 disasters, 13 successful starts Is there anything else that needs to be added?
@@AndreySmirnov77 Unnaturally smooth? Didn't it occur to you that the Americans, unlike the Russians, had done a great job of engineering, had done multiple tests, and were the first to use a computer control system. There were no secrets, no miracles. BTW: there are several archive videos on YT showing very precisely the amount of work done and the size of the financial outlay.
Великая страна, великие дела, великие люди и великие победы. Как ничтожен по сравнению со всем этим сейчас пу, со своими потугами, воровством и постоянным враньём....
The Soviets could never have landed an cosmonaut on the Moon because they did not have the instantaneous computing capability that the Apollo had aboard. By the time a radar signal left a descending capsule at the Moon's surface, reached a fast computer in the USSR, solved the orbital equations and returned an answer to the Soviet capsule, the velocity and position of the capsule would be completely different. Landing would be only a matter of luck.
Yup, and it was a one-man lander too. It was a desperate attempt to beat the Americans, but they always lagged behind. So they focused more on space stations.
The lack of computation capability was not a problem. They had Argon family, I guess Argon 11S was for the lander. Of course it was also problematic, as about every part of the N1 program.
I would like to see the training films of cosmonauts entering and descending from the LK. Years ago, A&E’s “Time Machine” program showed a short clip of a fully-suited cosmonaut descending the LK ladder. THAT would be interesting and would complement this excellent video.
As far as I understand it, the N1 was made cheaper and faster than the Saturn V. It was a brilliant piece of engineering. It’s a shame it fell just short of its mission.
Just short is a bit of an understatement, but in my opinion, I think they made it too complicated with their technology of the time. Also, I saw somebody else compared this to SpaceX(most likely starship), but I'm gonna go out and say that these 2 engine beasts are no where near the same, for example Starship has been able to develop alot fast and rapidly when compared to the N1, another thing is that starship actually kept developing to complete the mission it was given on flight 1 where as the N1 was dropped after (idk like 3 or 4) unsuccessful test flights.
Two of them blasted off during launch because of unpredictable vibrations. They could have made tests, they surely could have fixed it, but thew saw the race is lost, and dropped the project. Sad thing, we could have got a new type of rocket. The Starship of SpaceX is a similar solution to N1.
What they lacked was resources to do extensive ground tests of engines, control systems, etc. Korolev had to battle Politburo for resources, Mishin didn't have his skills so getting resources was even more difficult. There were those in Politburo debating among themselves about a moon mission. James Harford in his about Korolev, one of the former Soviet engineers said when Kennedy announced a race to the moon, Soviets either get into the race or not. They did neither.
All because of Valentin Glushko, who (although he was the most outstanding Soviet rocket engine expert) turned out to be an informer and, when the secret police interrogated him, denounced the future head of the space program, his friend Korolyev, who was sentenced to 10 years in a hard labor camp for this reason. Korolyev, as the chief designer of the N-1, could not, for reasons of honor, entrust the construction of the main engines of the N-1 first stage to this snitch. The engines were designed by Kuznetsov - an outstanding specialist, but in jet engines, not rocket ones... The American Saturn V had 5 engines in the first stage, Kuznetsov could not create such gigantic engines - that's why the first stage of the N-1 had 30 (!) of them. Thirty - which means at least 6 times more chance of failure. And that was the nail in the coffin of the Soviet lunar program. In none of the N-1 flights did the first stage with 30 engines operated properly. The primary cause of this huge (as a whole program) disaster was Glushko's lack of moral backbone and weakness of character. A typical representative of the Soviet elite of the nation.
Wow, that whole model setup at 8:13 is super cool! I wonder if they just built it to demonstrate everything to the higher ups or if it was actually used for planning and engineering purposes.
All they had to do was test the engines together all firing at the same time, and the issue would been discovered in a day, Soviet man would walk on the moon. But for some people its more important to meet deadlines then it is to do good work.
It sure was an impressive looking beast. It’s a pity they never managed to get it to work, if the Soviets had managed to reach the Moon then the US might have reconsidered giving up on Apollo
@@Paul1958R They actually did. RD-170 family is one of two (along with Merlin) most powerful and reliable engines on Earth. But it is much easier and more reliable to control direction of thrust with gimbal, than balancing thrust of multiple engines by throttling opposite engine
@@surfspark probably not. They started with schema, to shut down engine, that opposite to failing engine. Thus still had an issue. The biggest problem was that USSR could allocate at most 1/10th or money, USA had distributed for pure propaganda Apollo mission. Russians simply did not wanted to pay for machined fuel/oxygen tanks of Saturn-V. Or for 1000 trial runs of Rocket engine. Cost of Saturn/Apollo gears was insane for the time being. Prohibitive for USSR
it's also very clear that photography technology of Soviet Union was far behind the US. Since the start of Space race, we've seen excellent footages from US missions. But I've never seen such good images/videos from USSR.
The N-1 used a flame trench design with three chutes. Interesting. The N-1 was Korolev's biggest blunder. He tried to upstage von Braun's series stage Saturn V by building the series stage N-1, but with inferior engine technology. Korolev had a perfectly fine parallel stage launch vehicle in the R-7 and its upgraded version, the Soyuz launch vehicle. He could have developed an enlarged version of the Soyuz using the engines built for the N-1 with enough payload capability to put two cosmonauts on the lunar surface in 1968 or 1969.
Look familiar? Yep, Musk's rocket is nothing more than a copy of the old Soviet N1 (with modern electronics) .Also, the N1 looked way cooler than the Saturns. The CORD system was a problem though.
not sure what you're saying. In a way the idea has lived on because SpaceX pursued it. Now we have a successful flight with 33 engines at launch using full flow staged combustion engines on the 4th try. The engines didn't fail, rather they performed nominally throughout the flight.
@@punishthemeatpocket Starship blew up on every flight except the last one, what are you waffling about. The only thing it didn't do is explode on the pad, and they're extremely lucky that didn't happen on the first flight.
Не знаю. У меня с самого начала, когда я только увидел в каком-то источнике изображение этой ракеты, в голове возникла мысль что это полететь не может.

Большевистский молот, закономерно выродившийся в кувалду имени пригожина. Можно конечно говорить, что эта конструкция "опередила время", ну так не надо время опережать-то.

"Rare", you say? I grew up in the Space Age, and never heard of this until I was in Engineering School. I might have seen a sketch or mechanical drawing, but never a color picture, much less film. I'd almost say that (in the US) it has been sort of written out of history! There's a lot of things like this.
Some of the pictures show two side by side. Surely you would not launch with another one only a few hundred metres away? An accident with one could take out the other.
Why does documentary footage of the Soviet space program always look like it was shot by one guy with a wind-up 8mm home movie camera when NASA's is gorgeous stuff filmed in high definition from multiple angles? You'd almost think they knew they were going to have to burn it all anyway and didn't want to bother putting any effort into it.
Wow, great footage. I thought I saw most of the N1 material, but there's more. thx @6:58 Even a proof there were two N1s on the launch platform at one moment.

A situation not unlike that depicted in the TV series "For All Mankind".

Considering what SpaceX is doing...they weren't far off in hindsight. Great footage.
Yeah I a few Super Heavy Booster vibes look at the underside.
Yeah, there's nothing wrong with a lot of engines in a single sentence. In fact such an approach makes it easier to maintain the vehicle. You run into problems when your engines suck and literally can't be tested before being used, and your vector is controlled by thrust differential rather than gimbaling. But mainly if the engines suck and can't be tested. That doomed all four N1 flights.
Wasn't the lot of engines the answer to a similar problem the us had with combustion instability, but they solved it and soviets didn't.
@@VEC7ORlt Sure, that's true enough. But it's worth underscoring that both solutions-many small engines or a few big engines-should work just fine, all else being equal. The problem remains that the N1's engines were designed to work exactly once and so they couldn't be tested before launch. Combine that with poor manufacturing standards and the result is really kind of obvious in hindsight.
@@Asterra2 oh, that sucks, didn't know that.
This is far beyond an awesome video!
I never imagined the scale of the rocket as it is filmed here!
I knew it was big, but just how big... WOW!
It's a shame that Sergei Korolev's dream was never fully realized. The effort to put together something like the N1 is so off the scale, especially when one puts it in the context of the Soviet centralized hierarchy!
What a man he must have been to take it as far as he did!

We never did find out if the second stage would work.

the for all mankind music is completeing this
I do believe they would have succeed to bring a payload in LEO if the 2 next flight hadn't been cancelled (8L and 9L). Even the fourth flight was 7 sec away of second stage hot firing. It's easy to write this, hindsight is 20/20 but what I love about the USSR moon program is that chief engineers were already thinking of the next step: a moon base around 70's/80's. The USA would have been in a bit of a pickles as NASA was transitionning from Saturn Apollo to Space Shuttle in the 70's. Space shuttle would have continued development but politicians would have pushed for an american manned structure on the moon as quick as possible. Well who knows...
A little comparison:
N-1 4 starts, 4 disasters, 0 successful starts
Staurn V 13 starts, 0 disasters, 13 successful starts
Is there anything else that needs to be added?
Perhaps that Nazi engineers were more qualified than Soviet engineers.
Да. Во втором случае всё прошло неестественно гладко.
@@AndreySmirnov77 Unnaturally smooth? Didn't it occur to you that the Americans, unlike the Russians, had done a great job of engineering, had done multiple tests, and were the first to use a computer control system.

Server Korolev Dream machine N1 an impressive engineering
I first saw a film of this “unseen” N1 in 1996.
"Rare Footages of the Soviet N1 Moon Rocket | N1 L3 Lunar Complex | Soviet Space Program"
Where does it say 'unseen' in that?
@@Asymmetrical-Saggin It did until they changed it, apparently just after I posted that. It said "rare unseen footages." I guess they got my point.
Sure they did....
Великая страна, великие дела, великие люди и великие победы. Как ничтожен по сравнению со всем этим сейчас пу, со своими потугами, воровством и постоянным враньём....
Абсолютно так.
The Soviets could never have landed an cosmonaut on the Moon because they did not have the instantaneous computing capability that the Apollo had aboard. By the time a radar signal left a descending capsule at the Moon's surface, reached a fast computer in the USSR, solved the orbital equations and returned an answer to the Soviet capsule, the velocity and position of the capsule would be completely different. Landing would be only a matter of luck.
Yup, and it was a one-man lander too. It was a desperate attempt to beat the Americans, but they always lagged behind. So they focused more on space stations.
The lack of computation capability was not a problem. They had Argon family, I guess Argon 11S was for the lander. Of course it was also problematic, as about every part of the N1 program.
I would like to see the training films of cosmonauts entering and descending from the LK. Years ago, A&E’s “Time Machine” program showed a short clip of a fully-suited cosmonaut descending the LK ladder. THAT would be interesting and would complement this excellent video.
As far as I understand it, the N1 was made cheaper and faster than the Saturn V. It was a brilliant piece of engineering. It’s a shame it fell just short of its mission.
Just short is a bit of an understatement, but in my opinion, I think they made it too complicated with their technology of the time.
Also, I saw somebody else compared this to SpaceX(most likely starship), but I'm gonna go out and say that these 2 engine beasts are no where near the same, for example Starship has been able to develop alot fast and rapidly when compared to the N1, another thing is that starship actually kept developing to complete the mission it was given on flight 1 where as the N1 was dropped after (idk like 3 or 4) unsuccessful test flights.
Two of them blasted off during launch because of unpredictable vibrations. They could have made tests, they surely could have fixed it, but thew saw the race is lost, and dropped the project. Sad thing, we could have got a new type of rocket. The Starship of SpaceX is a similar solution to N1.
What they lacked was resources to do extensive ground tests of engines, control systems, etc. Korolev had to battle Politburo for resources, Mishin didn't have his skills so getting resources was even more difficult. There were those in Politburo debating among themselves about a moon mission. James Harford in his about Korolev, one of the former Soviet engineers said when Kennedy announced a race to the moon, Soviets either get into the race or not. They did neither.
@@gregor_manthe only similarity is the number of engines
Imagine your 200 HP sport fishing boat powered by fifty 4 HP engines--all fed from the same fuel tank. That's the N1. Just nuts.
That For All Mankind OST man, nailed it
Never seen before, thanks.
All because of Valentin Glushko, who (although he was the most outstanding Soviet rocket engine expert) turned out to be an informer and, when the secret police interrogated him, denounced the future head of the space program, his friend Korolyev, who was sentenced to 10 years in a hard labor camp for this reason.
Korolyev, as the chief designer of the N-1, could not, for reasons of honor, entrust the construction of the main engines of the N-1 first stage to this snitch. The engines were designed by Kuznetsov - an outstanding specialist, but in jet engines, not rocket ones... The American Saturn V had 5 engines in the first stage, Kuznetsov could not create such gigantic engines - that's why the first stage of the N-1 had 30 (!) of them. Thirty - which means at least 6 times more chance of failure. And that was the nail in the coffin of the Soviet lunar program. In none of the N-1 flights did the first stage with 30 engines operated properly.
The primary cause of this huge (as a whole program) disaster was Glushko's lack of moral backbone and weakness of character. A typical representative of the Soviet elite of the nation.
So majestic. But they never got a grip on pogo.
Sounds like part of the music was Resurrection by PPk.
Sounds much older than PPK. Wonder if they drew some inspiration from this song? Been trying to find the name of this uniquely soviet sounding song!
Turns out its probably Поход ("Crusade") written by Eduard Artemyev for the 1979 Soviet movie Siberiade.
PPK music was based on old movie Pokhod (The Jorney) soundtrack, and original theme was made by Artemyev.
N1 King 👑
Wow, that whole model setup at 8:13 is super cool! I wonder if they just built it to demonstrate everything to the higher ups or if it was actually used for planning and engineering purposes.
Только для начальства.
All they had to do was test the engines together all firing at the same time, and the issue would been discovered in a day, Soviet man would walk on the moon. But for some people its more important to meet deadlines then it is to do good work.
😅😅😅Im Impressed!!
Une fusée qui ressemble au communisme, superbe en théorie, mais trop compliqué à faire fonctionner.
It sure was an impressive looking beast. It’s a pity they never managed to get it to work, if the Soviets had managed to reach the Moon then the US might have reconsidered giving up on Apollo
It's a shame they couldn't figure out how to make it reliable. It was a beautiful rocket
The N-1 system with only throttle control of engines is too ambitious even today.
Oh they knew how to make it reliable. They just didnt have enough money.
@@Paul1958R They actually did. RD-170 family is one of two (along with Merlin) most powerful and reliable engines on Earth. But it is much easier and more reliable to control direction of thrust with gimbal, than balancing thrust of multiple engines by throttling opposite engine
@@shoora813For me it seems engine throttling seems much simpler and reliable compared to gimble which needs complex mechanism and sensors.
@@surfspark probably not. They started with schema, to shut down engine, that opposite to failing engine. Thus still had an issue.
The biggest problem was that USSR could allocate at most 1/10th or money, USA had distributed for pure propaganda Apollo mission. Russians simply did not wanted to pay for machined fuel/oxygen tanks of Saturn-V. Or for 1000 trial runs of Rocket engine.
Cost of Saturn/Apollo gears was insane for the time being. Prohibitive for USSR
The N1 was stronger than Saturn V by almost 60%. I now doubt NASA.
Keşke başarılı olsaydı ❤❤❤

The N-1 used a flame trench design with three chutes. Interesting.
The N-1 was Korolev's biggest blunder. He tried to upstage von Braun's series stage Saturn V by building the series stage N-1, but with inferior engine technology.
Korolev had a perfectly fine parallel stage launch vehicle in the R-7 and its upgraded version, the Soyuz launch vehicle. He could have developed an enlarged version of the Soyuz using the engines built for the N-1 with enough payload capability to put two cosmonauts on the lunar surface in 1968 or 1969.

Rocketship did better on the first try than N1 did on its fourth, and last.
not sure what you're saying. In a way the idea has lived on because SpaceX pursued it. Now we have a successful flight with 33 engines at launch using full flow staged combustion engines on the 4th try. The engines didn't fail, rather they performed nominally throughout the flight.
Starship never blew up prematurely... even when 4-5 engines were damaged on 1tf. N1 was an uncontrolled disaster when it failed.
@@punishthemeatpocket Starship blew up on every flight except the last one, what are you waffling about. The only thing it didn't do is explode on the pad, and they're extremely lucky that didn't happen on the first flight.
Great country, Soviet Union!

Не знаю. У меня с самого начала, когда я только увидел в каком-то источнике изображение этой ракеты, в голове возникла мысль что это полететь не может. Что это Царь-ракета (по аналогии с Царь-пушкой и Царь-колоколом). Это апофеоз советской монструозности в ущерб здравому смыслу и тонкому мышлению. Большевистский молот, закономерно выродившийся в кувалду имени пригожина. Можно конечно говорить, что эта конструкция "опередила время", ну так не надо время опережать-то. Время ухватится сзади и оставит без штанов...
"Rare", you say? I grew up in the Space Age, and never heard of this until I was in Engineering School. I might have seen a sketch or mechanical drawing, but never a color picture, much less film.

Some of the pictures show two side by side. Surely you would not launch with another one only a few hundred metres away? An accident with one could take out the other.
