[edit] Summary

Description
English: Dr. von Braun Standing by Five F-1 Engines
A pioneer of America's space program, Dr. von Braun stands by the five F-1 engines of the Saturn V launch vehicle. This Saturn V vehicle is an actual test vehicle which has been displayed at the U.S. Space Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Designed and developed by Rocketdyne under the direction of the Marshall Space Flight Center, a cluster of five F-1 engines was mounted on the Saturn V S-IC (first) stage. The engines measured 19-feet tall by 12.5-feet at the nozzle exit and burned 15 tons of liquid oxygen and kerosene each second to produce 7,500,000 pounds of thrust. The S-IC stage is the first stage, or booster, of a 364-foot long rocket that ultimately took astronauts to the Moon.
Français : Wernher von Braun posant devant cinq moteurs F-1.
Wernher von Braun pose devant le premier étage de la fusée Saturn V, constitué de cinq moteurs F-1. Ces moteurs étaient fabriqués par Rocketdyne sous le contrôle du Centre de vol spatial Marshall. Chaque moteur avait une hauteur de plus de 5,5 mètres (19 pieds) pour une diamètre de tuyère de 3,8 mètres (12,5 pieds), et délivraient une poussée de 6,7 MN, ce qui nécessitait 15 tonnes par seconde d'un mélange d'oxygène liquide et de kérozène. Ce premier étage, ou Booster, était à la base de la fusée saturne V, un engin de 110 m de haut utilisé pour envoyer des hommes sur la lune.
