Saturn V
Saturn V was the most powerful rocket that
had ever flown successfully and was used in
the Apollo program in the 1960s and 1970s. The
rocket was 363 ft. (111 m) tall and weighed 6.2
million lbs (2.8 million kilos) when fully fueled
for liftoff. The Saturn V used for the later Apollo
missions had three stages. Each stage would
burn its engines until it was out of fuel and would
then separate from the rocket. The engines on
the next stage would fire, and the rocket would
continue into space. The first stage had the most
powerful engines, since it had the challenging
task of lifting the fully fueled rocket off the
ground. The first stage lifted the rocket to an
altitude of about 42 miles (68 km). The second
stage carried it from there almost into orbit. The
third stage placed the Apollo spacecraft into
Earth orbit and pushed it toward the moon.
