It became known about the document regarding the plans for the flight of the Soviet manned spacecraft to the moon, Izvestia writes.
The 1965 technical report contains information on the formation of the principles of an autonomous electronic control system, which was supposed to ensure the launch of a Soviet manned spacecraft with three cosmonauts on the moon to the moon. The control system of the lunar orbital ship was supposed to survey the lunar landing area without prompts from the Earth and select a landing site.
On the way back, it was supposed to take off the spacecraft from the surface of the Moon, launch it into a rendezvous orbit with the lunar orbital spacecraft, dock with the subsequent exit to the flight trajectory home and a controlled descent to the surface of the Earth.
Experts said that the chances of implementing the project were slim, mainly due to the fact that the USSR could not produce engines with sufficient thrust to withstand the required load. Also, Soviet specialists were not able to provide an automatic landing according to the plans of the engineers.
Earlier, the American magazine Air & Space named the reasons for the failure of the Soviet program of manned flights to the moon. It was about the USSR's lagging behind the United States by three years in the development of a project for a flight to an Earth satellite.
