Although they stood up to the immense thrust needed to launch the mighty Saturn V rocket toward the moon, it turns out that the mammoth F-1 engines that powered the booster's first two-and-a-half ...

From the depths of the Atlantic Ocean, significant pieces of Saturn V's rocket engines have been recovered. What makes this a big announcement is the fact they've been there for over 40 years, and ...

The rocket engine was one of five used to launch a mighty Saturn V rocket on one of NASA's Apollo moon missions in the 1960s and 1970s. Image released on March 20, 2013.

The Saturn V’s first-stage rockets—five F1s made by Rocketdyne—are the most powerful single-nozzle liquid fueled rocket engines ever to see service. The engine bell for each was over 12 feet ...

These rocket engines now over 40 years old and when used in the 60s, each engine produced an insane amount of thrust to the tune of 1.5 million pounds at sea level. The Apollo missions used Saturn ...

With five F-1 engines, Saturn V, which first launched in 1967, is still the largest and most powerful rocket ever created. Each F-1 engine burned 3,357 gallons (12,710 liters) of propellant every ...

Here’s how it works. On Jan. 10, 2013, a Saturn V F-1 engine gas generator completed a 20-second hot-fire test at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. (Image credit: NASA) ...

The rocket was the loudest creation made by human hands, except for the cacophony created by nuclear explosions. The only natural sound on record to exceed the noise of the Saturn V engines was the ...

The five Rocketdyne F-1 engines present in the Saturn V's first stage were the most powerful single-stage rocket engines in history in their day. They'd go largely unchallenged for the next sixty ...

One of them is the Saturn V-4X (U), a Boeing design powered by four core Saturn V engines and that should have been capable of carrying into space no less than one million pounds (over 450,000 kg ...

When most people think of rockets, they likely imagine something like SpaceX's Raptor engine, or they might recall the Apollo 11 Saturn V rocket that took astronauts to the Moon.
