Nositel N-1 Lunar Launch Vehicle
Vehicle Integration
 
 
 
N-1 stack undergoing vehicle integration tests.  The relationshiips between the 3 stages is clearly visible: the entire vehicle was a tapering cylinder, connected by lattices of pipes for interstages.  Note the yellowish dome of the top of the third stage fuel tank.  All 3 stages used kerosene as fuel and liquid oxygen for oxidizer.
The technicians shown here are a little more "to scale" in this photo than in some of the others presented here!
