English: This video shows the separation of two stages of the Saturn V launch vehicle during Apollo 4, an uncrewed test flight of the Apollo program. A camera mounted to the interior of the S-II, the Saturn V's second stage, records the separation of the S-IC, its first stage, and subsequent jettisoning of an interstage ring which connected the two stages.
The C-5 was confirmed as NASA's choice for the Apollo program in early 1962, and was named the Saturn V. [31] [32] The C-1 became the Saturn I and C-1B became Saturn IB. [32] Von Braun headed a team at the MSFC to build a vehicle capable of launching a crewed spacecraft to the Moon. [ 33 ]
Moon Machines is a Science Channel HD documentary miniseries consisting of six episodes documenting the engineering challenges of the Apollo program to land men on the Moon. It covers everything from the iconic Saturn V to the Command Module, the Lunar Module, the Space Suits, the Guidance and Control Computer, and the Lunar Rover.
The Saturn V dynamic test vehicle, designated SA-500D, is a prototype Saturn V rocket used by NASA to test the performance of the rocket when vibrated to simulate the shaking which subsequent rockets would experience during launch. It was the first full-scale Saturn V completed by the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC).
S-IC-T was planned as a test rocket only and not to be used in the later Apollo program. The Saturn V rocket was used in the Apollo program to depart Earth's gravity. S-IC-T, like all following Saturn V's S-IC rockets used five Rocketdyne F-1 engines. The Rocketdyne F-1 engine was first tested in March 1959 and delivered to NASA in October 1963.
J002E3 is an object in space which is thought to be the S-IVB third stage of the Apollo 12 Saturn V rocket. It was discovered on September 3, 2002, by amateur astronomer Bill Yeung . Initially thought to be an asteroid , it has since been tentatively identified as the third stage of Apollo 12 Saturn V based on spectrographic evidence consistent ...
The two-stage Super Heavy-Starship, known collectively as the Starship, is the largest, most powerful rocket in the world with twice the liftoff thrust of NASA's legendary Saturn 5 and nearly ...
The F-1 is a rocket engine developed by Rocketdyne.The engine uses a gas-generator cycle developed in the United States in the late 1950s and was used in the Saturn V rocket in the 1960s and early 1970s.
