Saturn V (Saturn V) was a disposable rocket of multiple phases and used liquid fuel in the programs Apollo and Skylab of the NASA. Its design was in charge of Wernher von Braun in the Marshall Space Flight Center (Center of space flight Marshall) and its main constructors were Boeing, North American Aviation, Douglas Aircraft Company and IBM. It was greatest of the family of rockets Saturn.
In its flights, Saturn V happened through three phases: S-IC, the initial phase, S-II, second, and S-IVB like final phase. In the three LOX (LOX) like oxidant was used. In the initial phase RP-1 (petroleum refining) like fuel was used, whereas the other two phases used liquid hydrogen (LH2). In a mission, on the average, the rocket worked during about 20 minutes.
The NASA launched to thirteen rockets Saturn V between 1967 and 1973 without no useful pressure drop, although the 6 Apollo and Apollo 13 had problems of engines. The main load for these rockets was the Apollo ships that took to the astronauts of the NASA to the moon. To see more… File |
