Tolubko Chronology

23 January 1968 - Three-launch Soviet lunar expedition pitched. The 'big' Soviet of Chief Designers meets and the three-launch landing concept developed a month earlier is presented in detail. Pilyugin pointed out that this was a typical contradiction. Mishin had just made a presentation to the expert commission justifying that the one-launch scheme was safe and reliable. Now they wanted to put forward a new scheme because the one-launch scheme was unsafe and unfeasible.

Additional Details: Three-launch Soviet lunar expedition pitched.
