Saturn V rockets, the most powerful engines ever built, lifted all of the Apollo missions from Earth's surface into orbit.
Apollo 11 was the name of the spaceflight as a whole, the rocket used was the Saturn V (Saturn 5). Figures of around 160 million horsepower at its peak have been brandished about, but a rockets power should really be measured by the thrust, in terms of pounds-force or Newtons. At its peak, the Saturn V rocket produced 7,648,000 pounds-force (34 million Newtons)
The Saturn 5 was used from Apollo 8 to Apollo 17, so there were ten Apollo missions with the Saturn .
It took 7.5 million pounds of thrust to get them into earth orbit. Whatever that translates into HP. __ Mad Science has a page that translates the thrust into hp : For comparison purposes, the engines of the Saturn V launch vehicle that propelled the Apollo spacecraft to the moon had combined horsepower equivalent to 543 jet fighters2. The five F-1 engines on the first stage produce the quivalent of 160,000,000 horsepower or about 500,000 sports cars. David Ellis, Researcher, NASA Lewis Research Center
No, Apollo 4 and Saturn V were not the same. Apollo 4 was an unmanned test flight of the Apollo spacecraft, while Saturn V was the rocket used to launch the Apollo missions to the moon. Saturn V was a powerful rocket developed specifically for the Apollo program.
The Apollo 11 Rocket was called "Saturn V" (Saturn 5). The Apollo 11 lander was called "Eagle".
The rocket that launched Apollo 3 was the Saturn IB rocket.
No, the Apollo Saturn V rocket was the launch vehicle used in the Apollo program by NASA to send astronauts to the Moon. Apollo 13 was the name of a specific mission within the Apollo program that experienced an in-flight emergency while en route to the Moon.
Apollo 11 was the mission that successfully landed the first humans on the moon, while Saturn V was the type of rocket used to launch the Apollo missions. Saturn V was specifically designed to carry the Apollo spacecraft and its crew to the moon, while Apollo 11 was just one of the missions that utilized this rocket.
Apollo 4 was a test flight of the Saturn V/Apollo spacecraft. There was no crew.
Saturn V rocket launched Apollo 11 into space on July 16, 1969.
The rocket to launch Apollo 13 was the Saturn 5 rocket.
