May 8, 2009 · Someone, I forget who (one of the Shuttle astronauts, in a TV interview) said, "When those solids light, you know you're going somewhere." I never managed to get to a Saturn V launch (young and too poor to travel any way but by thumb), but when I watched STS-1 from the press site, I was surprised how quick it went up.

Jan 27, 2006 · But the full Saturn V, remember there were more versions, was 7.5 million lbs thrust from liquid propellant and the STS is 7.7 million lbs thrust, 6.6 million of that coming from the SRBs, although again you have to then take a number of factors into account.

Aug 18, 2006 · And the Saturn V's old guidance system and electronics boxes were immense and bulky and wouldn't work very well, if at all, with todays launch control computers and support equipment. It's often been said though that if the Saturn V had been allowed to evolve, today we would have a launcher capable of placing 180 tons into low Earth orbit.

Dec 28, 2014 · Everyone who flew on a Saturn V reported that, for the first minute or so of first-stage flight (while the vehicle was responding to the acoustic shock reflected from the ground), the ride was quite rough, with a lot of little steering inputs and a general vibration level that made it difficult to read the instruments.

Feb 28, 2009 · Yep Dean - seems you are right. It was from memory is all; at least I got 15 right.. And the following from the official 15 Saturn V post-launch report: Deletion of the S-II ullage motors did not adversely affect the recirculation system. The engine inlet temperatures were similar to those of previous flights at S-II ESC.

Mar 17, 2015 · In perfect hindsight, could a simplified design be applied to Saturn V to make it cheaper to operate and potentially reusable? My own thinking on this was to have a 2-stage RP1/LOX vehicle by adjusting the Saturn V as follows: - Keep the first stage, extend it if necessary. - Make F-1 engines restartable. - Add landing legs.

Apr 11, 2011 · The Saturn V is just a launcher -- it can't service the Hubble Space Telescope -- but just from a launcher vs launcher standpoint, we could evaluate the costs this way: There are various ways to count costs: marginal cost of adding another flight, average cost over a period of time, total costs of ownership (sum of all development, support and ...

Mar 26, 2008 · Forget the IB and instead fly the Saturn V-B or V-C this would allow common launch platforms and towers as well as common engines between all vehicles. If someone ever sets aside money to restart SLI and finished the TR-107 engine development maybe we could build a very similar vehicle based on the shuttle ET tanks.
