Abstract

Forty years ago with the purpose of realization of the lunar program in the USSR the large-scale works on creation the special equipment and technologies for use of effective hydrogen-oxygen fuel have been started. Such fuel project to apply in various updatings of space-rocket system N1-MoonEarth (N1-ME) intended for flight of the Moon and landing cosmonaut to it. For this purpose planned to create a rocket blocks of moon orbital complex and also system pf power supply on the basis of use hydrogen-oxygen electrochemical generator — a source of electric power and water on moon orbital ship. To the decision of difficult and responsible tasks connected with realization of moon program the Production Enterprises «Uralvagonzavod» has been recruited. It was entrusted during 1967 to create a transport and stationary means of refuelling. With these tasks experts of the enterprise have consulted successfully and in the stipulated terms.
