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 ...
2,313,320 kg (5,099,990 lb) Stages: 1.5: Capacity Payload to LEO; Mass: 22,600 kg (49,800 lb) ... the Saturn V-B was considered an interesting vehicle concept because ...
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 ...
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]
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.
C-1 – Saturn lower stage, proposed S-IV second stage (similar to the actual Saturn I). C-2 – Saturn lower stage, proposed S-II second stage, proposed S-IV third stage. C-3 , C-4 , and C-5 – all based on different variations of a new lower stage using F-1 engines, variations of proposed S-II second stages, and proposed S-IV third stages ...

The S-IC (pronounced S-one-C [3] [4]) was the first stage of the American Saturn V rocket. The S-IC stage was manufactured by the Boeing Company. Like the first stages of most rockets, more than 90% of the mass at launch was propellant, in this case RP-1 rocket fuel and liquid oxygen (LOX) oxidizer.
