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 American Saturn MLV family of rockets was proposed in 1965 by NASA as successors to the Saturn V rocket. [65] 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 [66] Nova was cancelled in 1964 and had reusable ...

Super-heavy lift vehicle: > 50,000 kilograms (110,000 lb) - e.g. Saturn V [10] Sounding rockets are similar to small-lift launch vehicles, however they are usually even smaller and do not place payloads into orbit. A modified SS-520 sounding rocket was used to place a 4-kilogram payload into orbit in 2018. [11]
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]
