The Falcon 1e was to be 6.1 m (20 ft) longer than the Falcon 1, with an overall length of 27.4 m (90 ft), but with the same 1.68 m (5 ft 6 in) diameter. Its first stage had a dry mass of 2,580 kg (5,680 lb), and was powered by an upgraded [ 42 ] pump-fed [ 43 ] Merlin 1C engine burning 39,000 kg (87,000 lb) of RP-1 and liquid oxygen .
90.0 minutes PharmaSat Risk Evaluation Satellite (or PRESat ) nanosatellite , for NASA , was about the size of a loaf of bread, weighed about 4.5 kg (9.9 lb) and was constructed in just six months.
The Falcon 9 v1.0 first stage was used on the first five Falcon 9 launches, and powered by nine SpaceX Merlin 1C rocket engines arranged in a 3x3 pattern. Each of these engines had a sea-level thrust of 556 kN (125,000 pounds-force) for a total thrust on liftoff of about 5,000 kN (1,100,000 pounds-force).
