    Saturn V 50th Anniversary Commemorative Evening, November 8, 1967. AS-501 / Apollo 4, Pad 39A, KSC, FL. The Saturn V Launch Vehicle With a capacity to boost a payload of 260,000 lb. into low Earth orbit, or a 100,000 lb. payload into a lunar trajectory, the Saturn V remains the most powerful launch vehicle yet to leave the Earth's atmosphere. It was capable of placing in orbit a payload more than four times heavier than the future Space Shuttle could lift, and was six times more powerful than the next largest expendable rocket of its day. The Saturn V was designed by NASA engineers at the Marshall Space Flight Center, (MSFC), in Huntsville, AL, under the direction of Dr. Wernher von Braun. Development began in January, 1962. A total of fifteen vehicles were produced. Thirteen flew missions. Characteristics Overall length: 281 ft. (booster), 363 ft. (with spacecraft). Maximum diameter: 33.0 ft. Weight at liftoff: 6,423,000 lbs. Trans-lunar payload capability approximately 107,350 lbs. Earth orbit payload capability, (two stage configuration); 212,000 lbs. Stages First Stage, (S-IC); Contractor: Boeing Assembled: New Orleans, LA . Length: 138 ft. Diameter: 33 ft. Weight: 5,022,674 lbs. fueled / 288,750 lbs. dry. Engines: F-1 (x5) Designed and manufactured by Rocketdyne, Canoga Park, CA. Propellants: LOX (Liquid Oxygen) / RP-1 (Kerosene.) Thrust: 7,610,000 lbs. During the production run, the F-1 was redesigned and up-rated in preparation for the later "J Series" of extended lunar missions. These missions carried heavier payloads. With up-rated engines, the S-IC produced 7,724,000 lbs.

Marshall S’uce Fght Center, Hmtsuille, Alabama TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM X-53158 SATURN IB LIQUID HYDROGEN ORBITAL EXPERIMENT DEFINITION I' Compiled By Advanced Studies Office George C. Marshall Space Flight Center Huntsville , Alabama ABSTRACT A Liquid Hydrogen Orbital Experiment is defined, using Saturn IB iaunch vehicle SA-203, which will demonstrate the adequacy of the S-IVB/V continuous vent and propellant settling system prior to a Saturn V launch. The state -of-the -art knowledge of cryogenic propellant behaviour under weightless environment will be significantly advanced by this observation of transient effects on liquid hydrogen through two television cameras mounted on the manhole cover of the S-IVB stage LH2 tank. The experiment justification, objectives, and S-IVB stage instrumentation are presented in detail. The liquid hydrogen experiment was proposed and defined by the Propulsion Division of Propulsion and Vehicle Engineering Laboratory. This report was compiled for R&D Operations with the assistance of Aero -A str odynamic s Labor a tory, Astfionic s Labor ator y, and Quality and Reliability Assurance Laboratory and complements NASA TM X-53 159, "Saturn IB Liquid Hydrogen Experiment Preliminary Lau Design Definition.

Scientists expect the results will greatly increase man's knowledge both of the Moon's history and composition and of the evolution and dynamic interaction of the Sun-Earth system. This is so because the dry, airless, lifeless Moon still bears records of solar radiation and the early years of solar system history that have been erased from Earth. Observations of current lunar events also may increase understanding of similar processes on Earth, such as earthquakes. -more- 6/30/71 b . -2- The Apoll 15 lunar module will mak its descent over the Apennine peaks, one of the highest mountain ranges on the Moon, to land near the rim of the canyon-like Hadley Rille.

Marshall Space Flight Center ABSTRACT Saturn V AS-505 (Apollo lO Mission) was launched at 12:49:00 Eastern Daylight Time on May 18, 1969, from Kennedy Space Center, Complex 39, Pad B. The vehicle lifted off on schedule on a launch azimuth of 90 degrees east of north and rolled to a fli.ght azimuth of 72.028 degrees east of north. The launch vehicle successfully placed the manned spacecraft in the planned translunar injection coast mode. The S-IVB/IU was placed in a solar orbit with a period of 344.9 days by a combination of continuous LH2 vent, the contingency experiment of propellant lead, a LOX dump and APS ullage burn. The Major Flight Objectiw_s and the Detailed Test Objectives of this mission were completely accomplished. No failures, anomalies, or de- viations occurred that seriously affected the flight or mission.

Portman May 2004 Orbital Debris Program Office Johnson Space Center National Aeronautics and Space Administration JSC 62530 Preface to the Thirteenth Edition The first edition of the History of On-Orbit Satellite Fragmentations was published by Teledyne Brown Engineering (TBE) in August 1984, under the sponsorship of the NASA Johnson Space Center and with the cooperation of USAF Space Command and the US Army Ballistic Missile Command. The objective was to bring together information about the 75 satellites which had at that time experienced noticeable breakups. This update encompasses all known satellite fragmentations. This update is published by the NASA Johnson Space Center, Orbital Debris Program Office with support from Lockheed Martin Space Operations and Viking Science & Technology, Inc. Since the twelfth edition there have been 13 identified on-orbit breakups and five anomalous events. This activity has resulted in an approximately 7% increase in the historical cataloged debris count (since May 2001) which includes on-orbit and decayed objects, though less than 1% increase in the on-orbit debris count is observed.
