How many engines did a Saturn V rocket have?
There were eleven main engines on the Saturn V. Five on the first stage, five on the second stage and one on the third stage. This does not count the engine on the lunar lander. How do I know? I worked as an Aerospace Engineer on the first stage of the Saturn V during Apollo. My partner and I were the ONLY two women working on the Saturn V.
