| Saturn V Launch Montage |
 |
This montage consists of footage from three
different launches of the Saturn V moon
rocket, the most powerful vehicle ever ridden
by man into space. All three missions
featured here were successful lunar landings
and feature Apollo 11 (1969), Apollo 15
(1971) and Apollo 17 (1972).
Footage and static images courtesy of NASA,
and are available in the public domain for
educational and informational use.

The Infamous Dark Match between Perry Saturn
V Mike Bell
Perry believes that reports of that match
were overdone, and says it was a "freak
accident", where Bell dumped him on his head
twice during the match. Perry claimed he was
"out on (his) feet", and swinging at Bell
instinctively. He then threw Bell out of the
ring so he could gain his composure. Bell
wasn't prepared for that bump, because Saturn
as swinging at him, and that was the bump
that Perry got the most heat for. Saturn
claimed that he was injured after that match,
and had to go home with a stiff neck

| Saturn V Launch |
 |
The Saturn V was a multi-stage expendable
rocket used by NASA's Apollo and Skylab
programs from 1967 until 1973 under the
direction of Wernher von Braun. NASA launched
13 Saturn V rockets with no loss of payload.
It remains the largest and most powerful
launch vehicle ever. The Saturn V's huge size
and payload capacity dwarfed all other
previous rockets, 110 m high, 10 m in
diameter (without fins) with a total mass of
over 3000 short tons. It consisted of 3
stages, all of which used liquid oxygen (LOX)
as an oxidizer. The first stage used RP-1 for
fuel, while the second and third stages used
liquid hydrogen (LH2). The upper stages also
used small solid-fuelled ullage motors that
helped to separate the stages during the
launch. Music: Vangelis ft. Stina Nordenstam

| Saturn V Rocketdyne F1 Engine - (Part 1) |
 |
An outstanding accomplishment by our space
program. This is one of the best clips, up
close, I have ever seen. If you guys have
seen better please link me.
The F-1 engine is a single-start,
1,500,000-pound fixed- thrust, bipropellant
rocket system. The engine uses liquid oxygen
as the oxidizer and RP-1 (kerosene as fuel.
The engine is bell-shaped, with an area
expansion ratio the ratio of the area of the
throat to the base of 16:1. RP-1 and LOX are
combined and burned in the engine's thrust
chamber assembly. The burning gases are
expelled through an expansion nozzle to
produce thrust. The five-engine cluster used
on the first stage of the Saturn V produces
7,500,000 pounds of thrust. All of the
engines are identical with one exception. The
four outboard engines gimbal; the center
engine does not.
The fuel pump supplies fuel to the thrust
chamber and gas generator at a flowrate of
15,471 gpm.
The turbine, producing 55,000 brake
horsepower, drives the fuel and oxidizer
pumps. It is a two-stage, velocity-compounded
turbine consisting of two rotating impulse
wheels separated by a set of stators. The
turbine mounts on the fuel pump end of the
turbopump so that the two elements of the
turbopump having the greatest operating
temperature extremes (1500 Fahrenheit for the
turbine and -300 Fahrenheit for the oxidizer
pump) are separated.
Hot gas from the gas generator enters the
turbine at a flowrate of 170 pounds per
second through the inlet manifold and is
directed through the first-stage nozzle onto
the 119-blade first-stage wheel. The hot gas
then passes through the second-stage stators
onto the 107- blade second-stage wheel, and
then into the heat exchanger. This flow of
hot gas rotates the turbine, which in turn
rotates the propellant pumps. Turbine speed
during mainstage operation is 5,550 rpm.
The power of one Saturn V is enough to place
in earth orbit all U.S. manned spacecraft
previously launched.
The combined propellant flow rate of the five
F-1s in the Saturn V was 3,357 US gallons per
second, which would empty a 30,000 US gallons
swimming pool in 8.9 seconds. Each F-1 engine
had more thrust than all three space shuttle
main engines combined.
This will be 1st of 3, videos pertaining to
the F1, Enjoy!
