Rise of the Giant : Saturn V ( The most powerful rocket )

The biggest rocket ever to be made with a height much taller than a 40storeyed building, Saturn V rocket is the most invincible machine ever built.
It holds the record of being the most powerful rocket till date.

The data about Saturn V precedes as followed :

It is manufactured by the american company Boeing(S-IC) North American (S-II) Douglas (S-IVB)

Country of origin being United States, the project costs about $6.417 billion in 1964–73.

Height of this rocket is 363.0 ft (110.6 m), with a diameter of 33.0 ft (10.1 m) and a huge mass of about 6,540,000 lb (2,970,000 kg).

It is a three stage rocket with its First stage - Length of 138.0 ft (42.1 m), Diameter : 33.0 ft (10.1 m),Empty mass287,000 lb (130,000 kg),Gross  mass5,040,000 lb (2,290,000 kg) and having Engines5 Rocketdyne F-1 with a massive Thrust of 7,891,000 lbf (35,100 kN) at sea level. It also has a Specific impulse of 263 seconds (2.58 km/s) sea level and burn time165 seconds using its FuelRP-1/LOX.

Its Second stage - length is 81.5 ft (24.8 m), diameter of 33.0 ft (10.1 m), empty mass 88,400 lb (40,100 kg) and gross mass of about 1,093,900 lb (496,200 kg) it has a Engines5 Rocketdyne J-2 with a massive thrust of 1,155,800 lbf (5,141 kN) in vacuum and a specific impulse of about 421 seconds (4.13 km/s) in vacuum with a burn time of 360 seconds using its FuelLH2/LOX.

The Third stage - length is 61.6 ft (18.8 m), diameter as 21.7 ft (6.6 m) with an empty mass of about 29,700 lb (13,500 kg) and a gross mass of 271,000 lb (123,000 kg) it has Engines1 Rocket dyne J-2 having a Thrust of 225,000 lbf (1,000 kN) in vacuum.

Such a powerful rocket was used to take us to moon back in the 20th century but it stands as the most massive giant rocket till today.

We salute the engineering behind the making of this giant.
