SL-X-15/N1-L3 all white 1M1, 3 stages

Mission: 1052-1 -- Date 24 September 1969 -- Frame A 067

The now all white N1 first three stages (1M1) was sent to the "J" west pad to test what went wrong with the SL launch. Note the east pad cleanup is continuing.

Resembling a 'Fat Bullet,' the 3 stage N1 was capped with a small cone on top of its third stage in place of the L-3 (L-1) payload mockup.
