Project N1 Lunar

drawing of NK-33 engines (They are now used in the Soyuz-2.1 rocket.)

Nice schematic, thanks
You've done some pretty impressive 3d, haven't you done a N1? I imagine you know your way around a soviet rocket, wouldn't it be right up your street?


Are these fairings separated during flight?

Yes, like its done on the R-7, shortly after staging. Its also done on Blok V.

I have modelled this already into the structural state machine, its only a small task then to include the visual representation of the fairing separation.

EDIT: Also the engine nozzles appear to be lacking the nozzle extensions, they are too short. Likely based on an assembly photo, that showed the Block B base without them as well.

I think the shielding depicted in the diagram is probably wrong, RL photos show it more indented, as in pic bottom right https://www.orbiter-forum.com/threads/n1-lunar.42242/post-629190
More of this elusive engine bell padding? I think it's a material? But haven't been able to see how far inside it goes.
And a pic of Bloc A without the launchpad mounting ring and heatshield is impossible to find!

Yes, like its done on the R-7, shortly after staging. Its also done on Blok V.

OK, then the engines need modeling

Have you released it? Wasn't sure if that project was still WIP. Thought you might have an N1 up your sleeve.

I forgot to look in the space encyclopedia A.B. Zheleznyakov where all the panels are

This thing will turn into a display complex for the Almaz space station

The photos show two types of spacesuits: Krechet and (proto, early, demo) Orlan

First Orbiter render.
Halfway there (Bloc A), textures next. Still unsure about some details, let me know if anything is wrong/missing.

This looks really good. Thanks for the update.

One "stage" closer...

...onward & upward.

This is a little nostalgic for me. Started modding Orbiter some 15 years ago building LV's.

2nd stage:

Will this N1 have failure modes like what unfortunately happened historically?
