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 ]
The following chart shows the number of launch systems developed in each country, and broken down by operational status. Rocket variants are not distinguished; i.e., the Atlas V series is only counted once for all its configurations 401–431, 501–551, 552, and N22.
The American Saturn MLV family of rockets was proposed in 1965 by NASA as successors to the Saturn V rocket. [64] It would have been able to carry up to 160,880 kg (354,680 lb) to low Earth orbit. The Nova designs were also studied by NASA before the agency chose the Saturn V in the early 1960s [65] Nova was cancelled in 1964 and had reusable ...

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.
The S-IC (pronounced S-one-C [3] [4]) was the first stage of the American Saturn V rocket. The S-IC stage was manufactured by the Boeing Company. Like the first stages of most rockets, more than 90% of the mass at launch was propellant, in this case RP-1 rocket fuel and liquid oxygen (LOX) oxidizer. It was 42 m (138 ft) tall and 10 m (33 ft) in ...
