The N1 was slightly shorter yet delivered much more thrust. Even so, due to the Saturn V's use of liquid hydrogen propellant in its upper stages as opposed to the N1's use of kerosene in all stages, the Saturn V could loft heavier payloads into space. A flight history comparison strongly favors the Saturn V: in 13 operational launches, it lost no payloads; the N1 lost all payloads in 4 launches. America spent more money and took longer developing the Saturn V. | | Saturn V | staged combustion cycle | grid fins | air-to-air missile | metric tons | lbf | NK-33 | NK-43 | Saturn V | kerosene | Low Earth orbit | liquid hydrogen | payload fraction | space station | Skylab | Proton | Energia | Buran | glasnost | NK-33 | NK-43 | Russia | Aerojet General | $ | J-1 | J-2 | Kistler Aerospace | Russia | As of 2005 | February 21 | 1969 | July 3 | 1969 | June 27 | 1971 | November 23 | 1972 | Pogo oscillation | N1-L3 | Cyrillic | Ze | Wikimedia Commons | Comparison of heavy lift launch systems | Soviet Moonshot | v | d | Soviet | Russian | expendable launch vehicles | Cosmos-3M | Dnepr | Proton | Rockot | Shtil' | Soyuz | U | FG | 2 | Start-1 | Strela | Tsyklon-3 | Volna | Zenit | Angara | Onega | Energia | R-7 | Luna | Molniya | M | Polyot | Sputnik | Voskhod | Vostok | Tsyklon | 2 | v | d | Expendable launch systems | | Spaceflight portal | Ariane 5 | Atlas V | Cosmos-3M | Delta | II | IV | Dnepr | GSLV | H-IIA | Long March | 1D | 2C | 2D | 2F | 3A | 3B | 3C | 4B | 4C | Minotaur | Pegasus | Proton | PSLV | Rockot | Shavit | Shtil' | Start-1 | Strela | Soyuz | U | FG | 2 | Taurus | Tsyklon-3 | Volna | Zenit | Angara | GSLV III | GX | H-IIB | KSLV | Long March 5 | Safir | Taiwan SLV | Taurus II | Vega | Ariane | 1 | 2 / 3 | 4 | Athena | Atlas | ICBM-derived | I | II | III | Black Arrow | Delta | III | Diamant | Energia | Europa | H-I | H-II | J-I | Juno I | Juno II | Lambda | Long March | 1 | 2A | 2E | 3 | 4A | Mu | V | N-I | N-II | R-7 | Luna | Molniya | M | Polyot | Sputnik | Voskhod | Vostok | Saturn | I | IB | V | INT-21 | Scout | Sparta | Thor | Thor-Agena | Thor-Burner | Thorad-Agena | Titan | II | III | IIIB | 34D | IV | Tsyklon | 2 | Vanguard | v | N1-L3 Moon landing program | Soyuz | Soyuz 1 | Soyuz 2 | Soyuz 3 | Soyuz 4 | Soyuz 5 | Soyuz 6 | Soyuz 7 | Soyuz 8 | | Zond | Soyuz 7K-L1 | Zond 5 | Zond 6 | Zond 7 | Zond 8 | LK Lander | Cosmos 379 | Cosmos 398 | Cosmos 434 | Zond (Soyuz 7K-L1) | LOK (Soyuz 7K-L3) | LK Lander | Block D | v | d | Soviet (to 1991) and Russian government manned space programs | Soyuz | ISS | | | | Spaceflight portal | Kliper | Vostok | Voskhod | Soyuz | Salyut | Apollo-Soyuz Test Project | Mir | Shuttle-Mir Program | Zond | N1-L3 | TMK | Spiral | Almaz | TKS spacecraft | Energia | Buran | Categories | Expendable launch systems | Exploration of the Moon | Lunar spacecraft | Soviet lunar program | Soviet rockets | Space launch vehicles | Articles needing additional references from February 2008 | All articles with unsourced statements | Articles with unsourced statements since September 2008 |
