Nov 24, 2016 · The Saturn I (pronounced "Saturn one") was the United States' first heavy-lift dedicated space launcher, a rocket designed specifically to launch large payloads into low Earth orbit.

The Saturn V could have lifted all current ISS components (about 1 million lbs) in about 5 missions, probably within 2 years.

Dec 10, 2017 · Falcon Heavy - 119,000 lbs (12.5 elephants) SLS - 286,000 lbs (30 elephants) BFR - 330,000 lbs (34 elephants) New Glenn Rocket - 99,210 lbs (10 elephants) The Falcon Heavy will be the first rocket since Saturn V capable of sending humans to the Moon, though it won’t be quite as powerful.

Feb 1, 2023 · The starter "Modular Nova" GLOW was probably something like 4050 tonnes, versus 1089 tonnes for Saturn C-3. A growth version could weigh 4330 tonnes and still have a 1.25 T/W ratio. Note that the starter "Nova A" version provided, essentially, the same performance as the not-yet-envisioned Saturn C-5! (but using twice as many F-1 engines!) - Ed ...

Apr 5, 2020 · The fins provided stability for Apollo spacecraft during planned crewed flight abort modes - and yes, Saturn I Block II was originally developed to perform early manned Apollo missions (later cancelled in favor of Saturn IB). On the Block II Saturn I vehicles, they were big because the rocket used a small second stage and was relatively short.

Jun 26, 2023 · Have you ever wondered what it would be like to stand next to a partially fueled Saturn 5 rocket, just hours before the historic Apollo 11 launch, with the looming threat of a catastrophic explosion? Or more importantly, how could a group of …

Feb 2, 2023 · Like recommendation #4 "Large Solid rockets should not be considered as a 'requirement for manned lunar landing' " or recommendation #5 "Development of the one J-2 engine S-IVB stage should, be started, aiming toward, flight tests on a Saturn C-1 in late 1964. It should be used as the third stage of both C-5 and NOVA [snip]".
