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. Five F-1 engines were used in the S-IC first stage of each Saturn V, which served as the main launch vehicle of the Apollo program.
F-1 rocket engine used in the Saturn program, Rocketdyne former main production facility, Canoga Park, Los Angeles. After World War II, North American Aviation (NAA) was contracted by the Defense Department to study the German V-2 missile and adapt its engine to Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) measurements and U.S. construction details.
The technology demonstrator was planned to use an Aerojet Rocketdyne AR-22 engine. The AR-22 was a version of the RS-25, with parts sourced from Aerojet Rocketdyne and NASA inventories from early versions of the engine. [114] [115] In July 2018 Aerojet Rocketdyne successfully completed ten 100-second firings of the AR-22 in ten days. [116]
This category is for those rocket engines using the pure gas generator cycle, like the Rocketdyne F-1, or the steam generator cycle, like the RD-107. Pages in category "Rocket engines using the gas-generator cycle"
The RL10 is a liquid-fuel cryogenic rocket engine built in the United States by Aerojet Rocketdyne that burns cryogenic liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen propellants. Modern versions produce up to 110 kN (24,729 lb f) of thrust per engine in vacuum.
The M-1 traces its history to US Air Force studies from the late 1950s for its launch needs in the 1960s. By 1961 these had evolved into the Space Launcher System design. . The SLS consisted of a series of four rocket designs, all built around a series of solid-fuel boosters and liquid-hydrogen-powered upper stag
If the entry is approved by F1 as it was by the FIA, the Andretti Cadillac Formula 1 team will have GM engines starting in 2028.
Main rocket engine production was done at the large Rocketdyne facility located in Canoga Park (1955-2013), in the western San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, Southern California. The large Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL) , was opened in 1947 by North American Aviation in the nearby Simi Hills , to land-test forerunner and Rocketdyne engines.
