The same rocket design that launched Apollo 2-17. Apollo 1 was just a unfueled test for the astronauts. (The command module caught on fire, perishing the men.) The name of the rocket is Saturn V. If you go to any search engine, go to images and type in, Saturn V. You will see many pictures of it. It was a rather simple rocket.


What type of rocket launched the Apollo spacecraft?

The mammoth Saturn V 3-stage liquid fueled Lunar Launch Vehicle was responsible for the successful launch of all of the Apollo spacecraft (except of course Apollo 1, destroyed by fire on the launch pad during testing). The Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, Florida, was specifically designed and built to assemble and service the Saturn V. When being rolled out on the crawler to the launch pad, the tip of the nose cone cleared the top of the doorway by only 6'. With the Apollo spacecraft aboard, the Saturn V was 363' tall and 33' wide, and weighed 6,699,000 lbs. It was just 1 foot shorter than St. Paul's Cathedral in London.
