While developing the N1, since 1963, Korolev began to plan a Moon landing mission using two launches and docking. The components would then be delivered by the proven middle-sized R-7 rocket. In its preliminary Moon plans, Korolev's design bureau initially promoted the Soyuz A-B-C circumlunar complex (A-B-V in Russian) concept under which a two-crew spacecraft would rendezvous with other components in Earth orbit to assemble a lunar flyby excursion vehicle. The drawing shows Soyuz 7K (right), Soyuz-B/Soyuz 9K booster, and Soyuz-V/Soyuz 11K tanker with twin whip antennas (left) Details of both Soviet programs were kept secret until 1990 when the government allowed them to be published under the policy of glasnost. The Proton-based Zond program was canceled in 1970, and the N1-元 program was de facto terminated in 1974 and officially canceled in 1976. Following the dual American successes of the first crewed lunar orbit on 24-25 December 1968 ( Apollo 8) and the first Moon landing on J( Apollo 11), and a series of catastrophic N1 failures, both Soviet programs were eventually brought to an end. The Soviet government publicly denied participating in such a competition, but secretly pursued two programs in the 1960s: crewed lunar flyby missions using Soyuz 7K-L1 (Zond) spacecraft launched with the Proton-K rocket, and a crewed lunar landing using Soyuz 7K-LOK and LK spacecraft launched with the N1 rocket. The Soviet crewed lunar programs were a series of programs pursued by the Soviet Union to land humans on the Moon, in competition with the United States Apollo program to achieve the same goal set publicly by President John F.
