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.

What is the difference between a multistage rocket and a single stage rocket?
A single-stage rocket has all its propulsion and structure contained in a single unit, while a multistage rocket consists of two or more stages stacked on top of each other. In a multistage rocket, each stage is jettisoned when its fuel is exhausted, shedding weight and making the spacecraft lighter, enabling it to achieve higher speeds. This design allows multistage rockets to carry heavier payloads and go farther into space than single-stage rockets.
Which country launched the first two stage rocket?
The United States launched the first two-stage rocket in 1949, named the Bumper WAC. It was a combination of a V-2 missile and a WAC Corporal rocket.
How many stages of a rocket are there?
Typically, a rocket can have multiple stages, ranging from two to four stages. Each stage is responsible for providing thrust during a specific portion of the ascent to space, with each stage being jettisoned once its fuel is depleted. As each stage is discarded, the rocket becomes lighter and more efficient for reaching its target orbit.
What is the difference between a space shuttle and a rocket?
Answer The Space Shuttle is a rocket. By definition, a Rocket is a vehicle that burns gas that it carries with it. Where as, a jet airplane burns the oxygen from the air and is not a rocket. The Rocket when it is launched has a liquid fuel rocket engines at the back end of it. It also has two long, solid fuel rocket engines that separate after launch. But the space shuttle is pulled by a rocket.
What are two main types of rocket engines?
The two main types of rocket engines are Solid fuel rocket engines and Liquid fuel rocket engines.
Why can the third stage of a multistage rocket go faster than the first stage of the rocket even though it has less fuel?
Because it's moving a smaller mass. The first stage of the rocket has to move the whole vehicle. By the time you're ready to fly on the third-stage engines, you've burned up the fuel in the first two stages and separated from them.

What is a stage two rocket?
That's a rocket with two stages- when the first stage (or section) runs out of fuel, it separates from the top half (second stage) and falls away, leaving that second stage to fire up, and drive the rocket higher.

Which are the latest technology in engeeniring?
two stage engines
How many types of rockets are there?
There are two main types of rocket engines: Solid fuel and liquid fuel. Liquid fuel rocket engines are usually considered significantly better than solid propulsion units, however, they are also significantly more expensive.
