Falcon 9 Block 5, the most prolific active orbital launch system in the world.. This comparison of orbital launch systems lists the attributes of all current and future individual rocket configurations designed to reach orbit.
The Saturn-Shuttle was a preliminary concept of launching the Space Shuttle orbiter using a modified version of the first stage of the Saturn V rocket. [1] It was studied and considered in 1971–1972.
The American Saturn MLV family of rockets was proposed in 1965 by NASA as successors to the Saturn V rocket. [69] 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 [70] Nova was cancelled in 1964 and had reusable ...

A Saturn V rocket, one of the most powerful operational launch vehicles to date. This article compares different orbital launcher families (launchers which are significantly different from other members of the same 'family' have separate entries).
The model gave the firms the financial reassurance they needed for ambitious projects such as the space shuttle, the SLS, and developing parts of the Saturn V rocket that took Apollo astronauts to ...
Comparison of Saturn V, Shuttle, Ares I, Ares V, Ares IV, and SLS Block 1. Shuttle-derived vehicles (SDV) are space launch vehicles and spacecraft that use components, technology, and infrastructure originally developed for the Space Shuttle program. [1] In the late 1980s and early 1990s, NASA formally studied a cargo-only vehicle, Shuttle-C ...
