The Saturn V was the largest operational launch vehicle ever produced. Standing over 363 feet high with its Apollo Spacecraft payload,

It was designed under the supervision of the rocket man, Wernher von Braun, and was chosen in 1963 from a list of potential systems proposed to make good President Kennedy's promise that a man would visit the moon within a decade.

The Saturn V located at the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas was completely restore by the Smithsonian Institute. Dedication date: July 20, 2007.

Saturn V size: 111 meters (363 ft)
Payload to orbit: 129,300 kg (285,000 lb)
Payload to Moon: 48,500 kg (107,000 lb)

1st stage: Five F-1 engines built by Rocketdyne
Propellants: RP-1 (kerosene) and liquid oxygen
Total thrust: 3,360,000 newtons (7,500,000 lb)
The five F-1 engines equal 160,000,000 horsepower, about double the amount of potential hydroelectric power that would be available at any given moment if all the moving waters of North America were channeled through turbines.

2nd stage: Five J-2 engines built by Rocketdyne
Propellants: Liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen
Total thrust: 5,560,000 newtons (1,250,000 lb)

3rd stage: One J-2 engine built by Rocketdyne
Thrust: 1,112,000 newtons (250,000 lb)

The ratio of propellant to payload in Saturn V is 50 to 1.
