Guys, N-1 did not use engine gimballing to steer.

Isn’t this widely known or am I just stupid?

@KirRu That was still not enough and N-1 suffered roll stability problem, but in Juno I did not encounter this problem.

@KirRu oh, good to know.

@deepfriedfrenchtoast @jacobssgt2
Actually all N-1 had Roll control verniers on first three stages
First stage on first three rockets had too small verniers, so they were changed to 4 RD-58 with short nozzle.

Look here

@Dereric, Sorry for my mistake, I confused RD-107 with RD-108.

@jacobssgt2
Are you sure?
Afaik the RD-107 should look like 6 engines, because it has only 2 Vernier engines, the RD-108 has 4 Vernier engines. The 107 was used at the Soyuz booster, while the 108 was used at the Soyuz core stage. And both engines used 2 turbopumps, one for RP1 and one for LOX. Both pumps were powered by the same turbine, maybe that's the reason for the confusion.

@jacobssgt2 interesting to know either way

@Zenithspeed
In most Soviet engines verniers are not separate small engines, but just auxiliary combustion chambers, that share the same turbopump as the main combustion chamber. RD-107 may look like 8 rocket engines, but in real it's just one turbopump with 8 combustion chambers. Howewer, N-1 did not use verniers.

honestly it surprises me that the Russians always opted for the little vernier thrusters (i think that's what they're called?) rather than full gimbal thrust vectoring, but hey, it works, so i'm not complaining

yeah The N1 used grid fins on the first stage to control roll
