- I think this one can't wait for Henry's summaries...
-
- The new 9 November issue of *Aviation Week* just hit my mailbox. On
- page 65 is a nice photograph of the Soviet N-1 rocket on its pad with
- service tower. The N-1 was the "Soviet Saturn V," the BIG rocket
- whose failure doomed their manned lunar landing program.
-
- The photo, taken in 1968 or 1969, was given to American educator Edwin
- N. Cameraon by an official of NPO Energiya. Other photos Cameron took
- at Baikonur-- I mean Tyuratam-- show the N-1 service tower as it
- appeared today, and an old N-1 shroud that's been converted into a
- toolshed.
-
- The N-1 has always been cloaked in secrecy, and this is only the
- second photo of it that's been published in the West.
