It was the largest, most powerful rocket ever built and, having served as the launch platform for the Apollo manned moon mission, probably qualifies as the most famous rocket as well.
AAPT also indicated that work on a second-stage and third-stage engine – which would be capable of generating about 200 metric tons (440,000 lbs) and 25 metric tons (55,000 lbs) thrust, respectively – is also in progress. All told, this is roughly six times the thrust that China’s...
The second stage had five liquid-propellant rocket engines, with a total thrust of 5.2 MN, and the third stage had one liquid-propellant rocket engine, with a thrust of 1.043 MN; the third stage was similar to the second stage of the Saturn 1B, but there were some design differences. ...

The Saturn V is still the most powerful rocket ever built due to its five F-1 engines in the first stage. These had 7.6 million pounds of thrust power which have not been replicated to this date. Where is the Saturn V rocket now? Various parts of the Saturn V rocket can be seen at...
First launched in 1967, the rocket consisted of three stages, with the S-IVB serving as its third stage. Taller than the Statue of Liberty, Saturn V had a mass of 3000 metric tons and five F-1 engines capable of producing thrust thrust of 7.6 million pounds-force. It could take ...
More than 40 years in the making, the Saturn V rocket was born out of the bloodiest war in history but grew up to become humanity's crowning engineering achievement.
The Apollo Saturn V SIVB was the third stage of the Saturn V booster. The SIVB consisted of a truncated cone with a bottom diameter of 10.06 m topped by a long cylinder with a diameter of 6.60 m. Total height was 17.80 m. It contained liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen tanks and a J2...
S-IVB Stage Developed by McDonnell Douglas, the S-IVB served as third stage for Saturn V rockets. Fueled with liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, the S-IVB was powered by a single, restartable, J-2 engine. A single propellant tank was divided into two compartments by a common bulkhead. Th...
engines—still the most powerful ever built—clustered at the bottom of the Saturn V’s first stage. At one point a four-engine version, the Saturn IV, had been considered, but in the complicated tradeoffs that led to the final design of NASA’s moon rocket, the “V” variant won out...
