No. The Saturn V used a first-stage booster of RP-1 (kerosene) and liquid oxygen. The second stage used liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, as the shuttle engines do.
The shuttle uses liquid hydrogen and oxygen for the main engines, and also two solid-fuel boosters (SRBs) when launched.

What is the largest space shuttle?
The Space Shuttle orbiter, with a length of 122.17 feet and a wingspan of 78.06 feet, was the largest space shuttle. The Space Shuttle program operated a total of five orbiters: Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour.
What is the smallest space shuttle?
The smallest space shuttle is the Space Shuttle Enterprise. It was a test vehicle and did not fly any space missions. It was used for atmospheric approach and landing tests.
What is the affect that occurs as a space shuttle orbits the Earth the shuttle and the astronauts accelerate towards the Earth with the same acceleration?
As the space shuttle orbits the Earth, both the shuttle and the astronauts inside experience the same gravitational acceleration towards the Earth. This gives the sensation of weightlessness because everything inside the shuttle is falling towards Earth at the same rate, creating the feeling of floating.
Which is the fastest space shuttle?
The fastest space shuttle was the Space Shuttle Columbia, which reached a top speed of about 17,500 miles per hour (28,000 kilometers per hour) during re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere.
How Long Was Columbia Space Shuttle?
The Columbia orbiter was 122.17 feet long. The entire Space Shuttle (which includes the external fuel tank and solid rocket boosters) is184 feet long. All space shuttles and orbitals seem to be the same length.

Is the weight of the space shuttle the same on earth as it is in space?
Its mass is the same(ignoring spent fuel) but the weight is a result of the gravitational pull, which is different in space. Actually the space shuttle never gets far enough from the earth for it's weight to change. The reason it seems weightless is because it is in free-fall.
What is the smallest space shuttle?
The smallest space shuttle is the Space Shuttle Enterprise. It was a test vehicle and did not fly any space missions. It was used for atmospheric approach and landing tests.
What were the colours on the space shuttle challenger?
The same colors as every Space Shuttle, mostly dark orange, black and white.
Do the Apollo mission space shuttles consist of a rust-colored external tank and two white slender solid rocket boosters and the orbiter?
The Apollo and space shuttle programs refer to two different NASA programs, not the same one. The Apollo missions used Saturn rockets; mainly Saturn V and predated the shuttle by around 10 years. The Saturn V was a three stage rocket; white with black "go faster" striping. The Apollo spacecraft itself consisted of the service, command, and lunar modules. The present space shuttle combination at launch consists of the orbiter, external fuel tank and the two white solid rocket boosters as described. The tanks and boosters are jettisoned during the launch at different stages, leaving only the orbiter in space.
How does the endeavor space shuttle work?
The same way as the others.
