Apr 11, 2011 · The Saturn V is just a launcher -- it can't service the Hubble Space Telescope -- but just from a launcher vs launcher standpoint, we could evaluate the costs this way: There are various ways to count costs: marginal cost of adding another flight, average cost over a period of time, total costs of ownership (sum of all development, support and ...

Jan 19, 2019 · How was the Apollo Command Module physically connected to the Service Module (and the rest of the Saturn V rocket) via umbilicals (that housed electrical cables to initiate the burn of the SPS engine, plumbing, etc.) in such a way that the integrity of the heat shield was maintained (i.e. no "holes" in the heat shield) ?

Jun 9, 2023 · Saturn V is a retired American super heavy-lift launch vehicle developed by NASA under the Apollo program for human exploration of the Moon. The rocket was human-rated, with three stages, and powered with liquid fuel. It was flown from 1967 to 1973.

Apr 5, 2020 · I've often wondered about the fins that were attached to the base of the Saturn rockets. The fins were pretty large on the Saturn 1 series, and a bit minimalist on Saturn V. They seemed more stylistic than functional. (I'm sure they really weren't) They seem a bit anachronistic. The Atlas and Titan did not have fins, neither did the Jupiter.

Mar 29, 2006 · Nasa estimates that Saturn V was 1.4 decibels louder that the shuttle. But remember that the Space Shuttle has a sound suppression system that reduces the noise by about 3 decibels. The Titan IIIC launch on 10/21/65 was measured at 94 decibels at 9388 m (5.83 miles). So that was much louder than Saturn V.

Apr 15, 2015 · In perfect hindsight, could a simplified design be applied to Saturn V to make it cheaper to operate and potentially reusable? My own thinking on this was to have a 2-stage RP1/LOX vehicle by adjusting the Saturn V as follows: - Keep the first stage, extend it if necessary. - Make F-1 engines restartable. - Add landing legs.

May 26, 2017 · They chill the Kerosine to 20°F or -7°C, the soviet went even to -4°F or -20°C on N1 rocket. A Saturn S-IC could carry 13% more LOX at -340°F Sadly i have not found accurate info about the density of RP-1 at 20°F or -4°F. but if it's possible to store 13% more kerosine at -4°F. it would give Saturn V a performance boost.

Apr 26, 2009 · 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.
