The Saturn V rocket utilized a combination of advanced technologies for its time, including powerful F-1 engines that burned RP-1 (a refined kerosene) and liquid oxygen for the first stage. It also featured a multi-stage design, with each stage designed to operate in specific phases of flight, allowing for efficient propulsion. Additionally, the Saturn V employed guidance and control systems, including the Instrumentation System, which ensured precise navigation and stability during launch and flight. Together, these technologies enabled the successful missions of NASA’s Apollo program, including the historic moon landing.
It was the fifth rocket in the Saturn-class, named after the planet Saturn, or the Mythological god Saturn.
The Saturn V rockets used by NASA during the Apollo missions stood at a height of 363 feet (111 meters).
No. Saturn V was the giant 3-stages rocket used to put Apollo missions "en route" to the Moon. Apollo 4 was an unmanned Apollo Mission, the first test of the Saturn V rocket (November 9, 1967).
The original US lunar missions were propelled by the huge Saturn V rocket.
Yes. Saturn 5, V or Five was the rocket that sent man to the Moon. The V is the Roman numeral for 5.

The Saturn V rocket was used by the United States. It was used from 1966 through 1973 for both Skylab and Apollo.
The Saturn V rockets used by NASA during the Apollo missions stood at a height of 363 feet (111 meters).
No, two different rocket were used: the Saturn IB and the Saturn V. The smaller Saturn IB was an upgraded two-stage Saturn I rocket. It was 199.8 feet tall and weighed 1,282,850 pounds. The Saturn V is to date the largest rocket ever made. It stood 363 feet tall and weighed 6,699,000 pounds. The Saturn IB was used primarily for testing Apollo hardware, but the Saturn V was used to boost crews to the moon. A modified Saturn V (called the Saturn INT-21) lifted the Skylab Space Station to Low Earth Orbit.

Saturn V (or five)
The success of the Saturn V rocket was largely due to its design under the direction of Wernher von Braun and Arthur Rudolph, German rocket scientists, who previous created the V-2 rocket. The Saturn V and Mercury-Redstone rocket programs were competing to make the trip to the Moon and the Saturn V rocket ultimately won.
Yes, the Saturn V was used for all of the Apollo moon landings.
The Saturn 5 was used from Apollo 8 to Apollo 17, so there were ten Apollo missions with the Saturn .
