Rocket Development: "Steps to Saturn"
2016年11月24日 · The J-2 was a liquid-fuel cryogenic rocket engine used on NASA's Saturn IB and Saturn V launch vehicles. Built in the United States of America by Rocketdyne, the J-2 burned cryogenic liquid hydrogen & liquid oxygen propellants, with each engine producing 1,033.1 kN (232,250 lbf) of thrust in vacuum. Development of the engine began in the 1960s ...
World's Largest Model Rocket, 1/10 scale Saturn V, to Launch Apr.
2009年4月22日 · The world's largest model rocket, a 1/10 scale Saturn V, will attempt to launch this Sat. April 25. Fascinating article, and it mentions the high-power engines needed to lift this 36 ft. tall behemoth. The event is open to the public at 10am, in Price, Maryland on the eastern shore - about a 1.5hr drive east from Washington, and 2 hrs north of ...
Apollo rubber blast room - PAD 39 Escape route Video
2023年6月26日 · Or more importantly, how could a group of brave individuals survive such an ordeal? In this video, I will take you inside the abandoned 1960s bunker known as the rubber room, and reveal the incredible measures taken to protect the Apollo crew in the event of a disaster. Includes a paid promotion, just skip over that.
Cost comparison in todays dollars STS vs. Saturn V
2011年4月11日 · The book "Stages to Saturn" gives a total Saturn R&D cost of $9.3 billion (I assume in then-year dollars). That would be roughly $46 billion current dollars. It also gives an individual production cost of the Saturn V as $113 million, that would be roughly $565 million current dollars. By contrast the marginal per-launch cost of the shuttle is ...
Book recommendation on Saturn V rocket
2017年5月28日 · Re: Book recommendation on Saturn V rocket. Still on my reading list is David Woods' "Saturn V Owners' Workshop Manual" (see attached jpg for the table of contents). I recently finished "How Apollo flew to the moon" by Woods, and liked the level of detail and focus on explaining various procedures quite a lot.
Fins on the Saturn Rockets - NASASpaceFlight.com
2020年4月5日 · 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.
Falcon Heavy 5 Vs. Saturn 5 - forum.nasaspaceflight.com
2011年5月26日 · Re: Falcon Heavy 5 Vs. Saturn 5. I would note that a theoretical 7-core Falcon Heavy would be in the same payload class as Saturn V ( (7/3)*53 = 123 tonnes). But with the same set of problems as above - and also the problem of re-engineering the cores to handle the increased payload mass as Ben mentioned above.
This is why we couldn't rebuild the Saturn V.
2010年1月14日 · The Saturn 5 had a clean launch record (not that it launched enough times to break it)...and it took folks out of that boring little place we call low earth orbit. Not to state the obvious. SA-502 (launched AS-502, or Apollo 6) suffered a launch vehicle failure - …
Saturn C-8 - NASASpaceFlight.com
2013年4月27日 · The third stage of the Saturn VIII (C-8) is something I've been hunting for more information since the first time I saw it attached to a Nova class design that mixed a solid first stage with liquid second and third stages. The second stage of that design was described as a 'cluster' of six J-2s and the third was a 'cluster' of two J-2 engines.
