caption_attribution_description: English: Dr. von Braun standing by five F-1 Engines. A pioneer of America's space program, Dr. von Braun stands by the five F-1 engines of the Saturn V Dynamic Test Vehicle on display at the U.S. Space &amp; Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Designed and developed by Rocketdyne under the direction of the Marshall Space Flight Center, a cluster of five F-1 engines was mounted on the Saturn V S-IC (first) stage. The engines measured 19-feet tall by 12.5-feet at the nozzle exit and burned 15 tons of liquid oxygen and kerosene each second to produce 7,500,000 pounds of thrust. The S-IC stage is the first stage, or booster, of a 364-foot long rocket that ultimately took astronauts to the Moon. Español: Wernher von Braun posando delante de cinco motores F-1.Formaban parte del cohete Saturno V. Estos motores estaban diseñados y fabricados por Rocketdyne bajo el control del Centro de vuelo Espacial Marshall en Huntsville, Alabama. Cada motor tenía una altura de 5,5 metros y un diámetro de 3,8 metros. Estaba diseñado para poder quemar 15 toneladas de oxígeno líquido y queroseno por segundo para llegar a alcanzar los 6,5 MN (MegaNewton) de fuerza. El S-IC fue el primer prototipo de cohete, del que después saldría el modelo final que llevó al hombre a la Luna. Français&#160;: Wernher von Braun posant devant cinq moteurs F-1. Wernher von Braun pose devant le premier étage de la fusée Saturn V, constitué de cinq moteurs F-1. Ces moteurs étaient fabriqués par Rocketdyne sous le contrôle du Centre de vol spatial Marshall. Chaque moteur avait une hauteur de plus de 5,5 mètres (19 pieds) pour un diamètre de tuyère de 3,7 mètres (12,5 pieds), et délivrait une poussée de 6,7 MN, ce qui nécessitait 2,5 tonnes par seconde d'un mélange d'oxygène liquide et de kérosène. Ce premier étage, ou Booster, était à la base de la fusée Saturn V, un engin de 110 m de haut utilisé pour envoyer des hommes sur la lune. Română: Dr. Wernher von Braun stând în faţa a cinci motoare F-1 Un pionier al programului american spaţial, Dr. von Braun este surprins în această fotografie stând în faţa celor cinci motoare F-1 ale rachetei Saturn V. Racheta Saturn V este un vehicul de testare care a fost expus la centrul U.S. Space Rocket Center în Huntsville, Alabama. Concepute şi dezvoltate de Rocketdyne sub îndrumarea Centrului pentru zboruri spaţiale Marshall (engleză: Marshall Space Flight Center), un grup de cinci motoare F-1 a fost montat pe treapta S-IC (prima) a rachetei Saturn V. Motoarele măsurau 5,5 metri în înălţime (19 picioare) şi 3,8 metri (12,5 picioare) în diametru la ajutajul de ieşire şi consumau 15 tone de oxigen lichid şi kerosen pe secundă pentru a produce o putere de 6,7 MN. Treapta S-IC este prima treaptă, sau motor auxiliar, a rachetei de 110 metri care în cele din urmă a dus astronauţii pe Lună.

context_page_description: Saturn V was the kind of launch vehicle used by NASA in a space program named after a god that ancient people liked. The Saturn V carried Apollo 11 and the people in it to the Moon in 1969. Much of the rocket was planned by German engineer and scientist Wernher von Braun. 32 Saturn rockets were sent up to space, and the Saturn V was the largest. 15 Saturn V rockets were made and 13 were sent up to space. There were two Saturn V launches with no people in them, and the first manned Apollo flight using a Saturn V was Apollo 8 sent around the Moon on December 21, 1968.
  The Saturn V rocket was a three part machine. It stood 111 metres high and weighed 2,903,020 kilograms. The first rockets were able to carry 44,600 kilograms. This was went up to 46,800 kilograms for the later Apollo flights. The first and second stages gave the power to lift the rocket off the Earth. The first and second stages each had five engines. The first stage burned kerosene and liquid oxygen together. The other stages burned liquid oxygen with liquid hydrogen.

  The Saturn V rocket was a three part machine. It stood 111 metres (363 feet) high and weighed 2,903,020 kilograms (6,400,060 pounds). The first rockets were able to carry  44,600 kilograms (98,300 pounds). This was went up to 46,800 kilograms (103,200 pounds) for the later Apollo flights. The first and second stages gave the power to lift the rocket off the Earth. The first and second stages each had five engines. The first stage burned kerosene and liquid oxygen together.  The other stages burned liquid oxygen with liquid hydrogen. 
  The first stage engines burned for 168 seconds which was able to lift Apollo to a height of 67 kilometres (42 miles) and about 93 kilometres (58 miles) away from the launch pad.  The second stage burned for about 8 minutes to take Apollo through the upper atmosphere.  At this time it was going 25,182 kilometres per hour (15,647 miles per hour).
  The third stage was used for 2 minutes and 30 seconds to put Apollo into an Earth orbit. This was at a height of 191.2 kilometres (118.8 miles) above the Earth. The third stage was started again and burned for 6 minutes to make the speed go up to 40,320 kilometres per hour (25,050 miles per hour) needed to send Apollo off to the Moon.
