The Saturn C-5 (later given the name Saturn V), the most powerful of the Silverstein Committee's configurations, was selected as the most suitable design. At the time the mission mode had not been selected, so they chose the most powerful booster design in order to ensure that there would be ample power. [ 24 ]
A 1968 proposal for a Saturn V ELV (MLV-SAT-V-25(S)U) According to the 1968 NASA document "Integrated Manned Interplanetary Spacecraft Concept Definition", there was a planned schedule for exploration under the ELV program. [2] After the first crewed Apollo lunar landing, NASA was hoping to progress through the following list:
Falcon 9 First Stage Booster will be expended in this mission. September (TBD) [29] H3-24W: F7 Tanegashima LA-Y2: MHI: HTV-X1: JAXA: Low Earth ISS logistics Technology demonstration ⚀ Ten-Koh 2 [30] Nihon University: Low Earth: Magnetosphere observation / Technology demonstration First HTV-X resupply mission.

BOOSTER – Booster Systems Engineer (monitored the Saturn V in pre-launch and ascent) RETRO – Retrofire Officer (responsible for abort procedures and Trans-Earth Injection, or TEI, retrofire burns) FIDO – Flight Dynamics Officer (responsible for the flight path of the space vehicle)
There were proposals to use eight F-1 engines on the first stage of the Saturn C-8 and Nova rockets. Numerous proposals have been made from the 1970s and on to develop new expendable boosters based around the F-1 engine design. These include the Saturn-Shuttle, and the Pyrios booster (see below) in 2013. [10]
Booster 4 was the first vehicle intended to fly on Starship's Flight Test 1. It was the first Super Heavy to be stacked with Starship, [81] and conducted multiple cryogenic tests before being retired in favor of Booster 7 and Ship 24. [82] Booster 7 being tested on the orbital launch pad at Starbase, Boca Chica, Texas in February 2023.
The "B" derivative of the Saturn V was a stage and one- half version of the then current S-IC stage and would become the first stage in an effective and economical assembly of upper stages of the evolutionary Saturn family. The booster would achieve liftoff via five regular F-1 engines; four of the five engines on the Saturn V-B would be ...
The Saturn IB [a] (also known as the uprated Saturn I) was an American launch vehicle commissioned by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for the Apollo program. It uprated the Saturn I by replacing the S-IV second stage (90,000-pound-force (400,000 N), 43,380,000 lb-sec total impulse), with the S-IVB (200,000-pound-force ...
