Title
Two N1 Moon Rockets on the Pads at Tyura-Tam
Full Description
Two N1 Moon rockets appear on the pads at Tyura-Tam in early
July 1969. The N1 was designed for the Soviet space program
human lunar missions. In the foreground is booster number 5L
with a functional payload for a lunar-orbiting mission. In the
background is the IMI ground test mock-up of the N1 for
rehearsing parallel launch operations. After take-off the rocket
collapsed back onto the pad, destroying the entire pad area in a
massive explosion.
