F1 engine on the Saturn V rocket
F1 engine on the Saturn V rocket in the Apollo/Saturn V Center, at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, USA. The Saturn V was the launch vehicle for NASAs Apollo program of manned missions to the Moon. The Apollo program took place between 1961 and 1975. The Saturn V was one of the most powerful rockets ever made. Five F-1 engines were used in the first stage of the Saturn V rockets, the stage used during take-off. These engines burnt hundreds of tonnes of liquid oxygen and rocket fuel (kerosene) in around three minutes, lifting the 110-metre high, 3000-tonne rocket to an altitude of 68 kilometres and a speed of 2.4 kilometres per second

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the F1 engine on the Saturn V rocket, displayed at the Apollo/Saturn V Center in Kennedy Space Center, Florida. As part of NASA's groundbreaking Apollo program, this colossal rocket propelled manned missions to the Moon between 1961 and 1975. The Saturn V remains an emblem of technological prowess, standing as one of the most powerful rockets ever created. The first stage of the Saturn V employed five F-1 engines that consumed hundreds of tonnes of liquid oxygen and kerosene fuel within a mere three minutes. This immense power enabled the 110-meter tall, 3000-tonne rocket to soar to an altitude of 68 kilometers and reach speeds up to 2.4 kilometers per second. Displayed with meticulous detail in this exhibition, visitors can marvel at this engineering marvel that played a pivotal role in humanity's quest for space exploration during the historic space race era. The F1 engine's intricate nozzles and robust design symbolize both scientific progress and human ambition. As you gaze upon this image captured by Science Photo Library, you are transported back to a time when dreams took flight amidst technological advancements. It serves as a reminder not only of our remarkable achievements but also inspires future generations to push boundaries beyond Earth's atmosphere.
