Description

Free Bryce model from N.A.S.A. SATURN V The Saturn V (pronounced "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. The largest production model of the Saturn family of rockets, the Saturn V was designed under the direction of Wernher von Braun and Arthur Rudolph at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, with Boeing, North American Aviation, Douglas Aircraft Company, and IBM as the lead contractors. Von Braun's design was based in part on his work on the Aggregate series of rockets, especially the A-10, A-11, and A-12, in Germany during World War II. To date, the Saturn V is the only launch vehicle to transport human beings beyond Low Earth Orbit. A total of 24 astronauts were flown to the Moon, 3 of them more than once, in the four years spanning December 1968 through December 1972. Thanks Magik ___________________________ SATURNE 5 Saturn V est la fusée spatiale qui a été utilisée par la NASA pour les programmes Apollo et Skylab entre 1967 et 1973, en pleine course à l’espace entre Américains et Soviétiques. Il s’agissait d’un lanceur à plusieurs étages, à ergols liquides, dernier né de la famille de lanceurs Saturn conçue sous la direction de Wernher von Braun au Centre de vol spatial Marshall (MSFC) à Huntsville en Alabama, en collaboration avec les sociétés Boeing, North American Aviation, Douglas Aircraft Company ou IBM comme principaux entrepreneurs. Saturn V reste, encore en 2011, le lanceur spatial le plus imposant qui ait été utilisé en opération, que ce soit du point de vue de la hauteur, de la masse au décollage ou de la masse de la charge utile injectée en orbite. Seule la fusée russe Energia, qui ne vola que pour deux missions de test, la dépassa légèrement au niveau de la poussée au décollage. Saturn V, qui a été conçue pour lancer le vaisseau spatial habité Apollo permettant les premiers pas de l’homme sur la Lune, a continué son service en envoyant en orbite la station spatiale Skylab. En tout, la NASA lança treize fusées Saturn V, sans avoir à déplorer la moindre perte de charge utile. Les trois étages qui composaient Saturn V ont été développés par de nombreuses entreprises sous-traitantes sous pilotage de la NASA. Ces sociétés, suite à de multiples fusions et rachats, font aujourd’hui toutes parties du groupe Boeing. Merci Magik ___________________________

A great render with the NASA model, Real! That was one HUGE rocket! I remember standing next to a first stage engine on display at Kennedy Space Center - you could set up housekeeping inside it!
