Description


The Saturn V (Saturn Five) was an American human rated expendable rocket used by NASA's Apollo and Skylab programs from 1967 until 1973. A multistage liquid fueled launch vehicle, NASA launched 13 Saturn Vs from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida with no loss of crew or payload. It remains the tallest, heaviest and most powerful rocket ever brought to operational status and still holds the record for the heaviest launch vehicle payload. To date, the Saturn V is the only launch vehicle to transport human beings beyond Low Earth Orbit. A total of 24 men were flown out to the Moon in the four years spanning December 1968 through December 1972. Saturn V is 363 feet (110.6 meters) tall, 33 feet (10.1 meters) in diameter, weighed 6,699,000 pounds (3,039,000 kg) and carried a payload 262,000 pounds (119,000 kg). I call this the business end of the rocket and I could stand in any of these five engines, with arms raised, and not come close to touching the top. Cavernous to say the least. Info from Wikipedia. Zoom works. Thanks for stopping by my gallery, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments. They are very much appreciated. Dana

That is cool. I talked to a lady last month that was an engineer on the Saturn rockets. She was one of two ladies on the engineering team in the 1960's. She was really interesting to listen to. She sent me three pictures she took of launch pad 39B. It was torn down last year it think. Nice picture!
