The Saturn V reached 400 feet per second (120 m/s) at over 1 mile (1,600 m) in altitude. Much of the early portion of the flight was spent gaining altitude, with the required velocity coming later. The Saturn V broke the sound barrier at just over 1 minute at an altitude of between 3.45 and 4.6 miles (5.55 and 7.40 km). At this point, shock ...
The rocket was 36 feet (11 m) tall and weighed 1,648 pounds (748 kg). [1] On Saturday April 25, 2009 Eves launched the 1/10 scale replica of the Saturn V rocket 4,441 feet (1,354 m) into the air, and successfully recovered it. [ 2 ]

The LEO orbital payload of the Saturn V which launched Skylab was 147,363 kg. Of this about 36,500 kg was the non-functional dry mass of the SII 2nd stage. Total orbital mass of the Skylab workshop was about 88,474 kg. Various other sources state the Saturn V LEO payload as 118,000 kg . So there are various ways to define payload: total ...
The S-V would ultimately fly as the third stage on early launches of the Saturn I. Convair delivered two S-V stages in February 1961 [1] with one being flown on SA-1 attached to an also inert S-IV, the second was used for dynamic testing of the complete Saturn I before being later flown. In May 1961 NASA eliminated the requirement for all ...
During their two and a half minutes of operation, the five F-1s propelled the Saturn V vehicle to a height of 42 miles (222,000 ft; 68 km) and a speed of 6,164 mph (9,920 km/h). The combined flow rate of the five F-1s in the Saturn V was 3,357 US gal (12,710 L) [5] or 28,415 lb (12,890 kg) per second.
According to the Associated Press/USA TODAY/Northeastern University Mass Killing Database, before the New Orleans attack there had been three intentional and indiscriminate vehicle rammings since ...
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 ...
