Space 50 years ago
Types of Rockets: During the last 50 years, people have used many rockets to go to space. There are 3 major and famous rockets that were widely used. They were Saturn V, Orbiter, and Orion that is planning for its fist launch in 2017. About 50 years ago, we will focus on the SaturnV. The Saturn V got it’s name from it’s 5 F1 rocket engines that provides it with the 7.5 million LBs
The launch of Apollo 11 using the saturnV rocket Launched in Florida on July 16, 1969of thrust. The SaturnV’s main uses is to go to the moon and lower Earth orbit. The SaturnV has a tiny capsule that carries 3 astronauts on the mission to the moon, “Designed to fly three Apollo astronauts to the moon and back.” (Karl Tate) Many test fights were done before the Apollo used the rocket to go to the …show more content…
“The Saturn V made its first unnamed test flight in 1967.”(Tate) There were 13 Saturn V rockets that were launched during 1967-1973. Unlike the Space Orbiter, and Orion, Saturn V used kerosine not solid fuels that the other 2 types use. Compared with the new Orion rocket, Saturn V lacks with thrust. Saturn V is designed to bring Astronauts to the moon or lower Earth orbit, but the Orion rocket is designed for Mars travel, eventually with the enough technology, humans will ride to Orion to mars. This will be a watershed after humans landing on the moon. Overall, the SaturnV was a very successful rocket that NASA used for space
