The Saturn V [f] is a retired American super heavy-lift launch vehicle developed by NASA under the Apollo program for human exploration of the Moon. The rocket was human-rated, had three stages, and was powered by liquid fuel.

Three variants of the Saturn family which were developed: Saturn I, Saturn IB, and Saturn V. The Saturn family of American rockets was developed by a team of former German rocket engineers and scientists led by Wernher von Braun to launch heavy payloads to Earth orbit and beyond.

The Saturn V's booster, the S-IC stage, made a "perfect" full-duration static firing by burning for the programmed 2.5 minutes at its full 33,360-kilonewton (7.5-million-lbs) thrust in a test conducted at MSFC.

2014年12月4日 · The first such solid booster-augmented Saturn V design was the Saturn MLV-V-4(S), essentially a standard Saturn V (as it had the same stage lengths) with a strengthened S-IC first stage that also mounted four 120-inch diameter SRBs.

During its development, the Saturn V was considered as a workhorse booster of a planned Apollo Applications space science program which would follow the lunar landing missions. The Apollo Applications program never materialized as NASA chose instead to develop the Space Shuttle.

2024年5月6日 · MLV-Saturn V-4(S): Uprated first stage with five uprated F-1 engines, four 120-inch solid rocket boosters attached to first stage, increased upper stage propellant capacity. At the mid-term review, it was determined that the studies had progressed sufficiently that two additional configurations could be investigated:

What became the Saturn grew out of a U.S. military requirement in the late 1950s for a booster big enough to launch large satellites. Wernher von Braun, who had dreamed as a young engineer in...

Its flawless track record and technological advancements set the stage for future generations of rockets and space missions. Payload Capacity: Saturn V boasted a payload capacity of over 140 metric tons to Low Earth Orbit (LEO), setting an unprecedented standard that remained unchallenged for decades.

The Saturn V-ELV (Earth Launch Vehicle) was to be an enlarged Saturn V with the addition of four UA1207 [1] solid rocket boosters derived from the Titan IV launch vehicle and liquid propellant stages derived from the conceptual Saturn MLV-V-4(S)-A* and MLV-V-1A. [1]

S-IVB, the third stage of Saturn V booster, is made APOLLO spaceship which has already reached the earth orbit to go to the flight (Trans lunar injection : TLI) to the moon. Then, it continues the flight to the moon itself, and crashes on the moon at the end.
