Saturn V First Stage Engine
Space Center, Houston
F-1 is a gas-generator cycle rocket engine developed in the United States by Rocketdyne in the late 1950s and used in the Saturn V rocket in the 1960s and early 1970s. Five F-1 engines were used in the S-IC first stage of each Saturn V, which served as the main launch vehicle of the Apollo program. The F-1 remains the most powerful single-chamber liquid-fueled rocket engine ever developed
This first stage section is actually mislabelled. The labelling on the rocket is S-IC-6, which was used for the Apollo 11 launch. The hardware on display is actually S-IC-T, a first stage booster used for test firing of the engines.
On display at the Saturn V Center at Kennedy Space Center, Merritt Island, Florida.
Cette fusée aurait dû partir avec la mission Apollo 20. Une fois le programme annulé, elle demeura à l'abandon pendant plus de 20 ans mais fut récemment rénovée. Très impressionnant !

The Phase-shift Turbine consists of a set of concentric coils, axially rotated from each other, and feed by phased RF sources, producing radial and longitudinal sequences, which results in helical moving force, ionizing intake gas/particle/ion, generating continuous unidirectional thrust. It was designed in order to operate in atmospheric environments, mainly during takeoff, and in space to reuse exhaust gases from chemical rockets to booster the overall ISP, enhancing utilization of both energy and propellant.

Parker Solar Probe is humanity’s first-ever mission into a part of the Sun’s atmosphere called the corona. Here it will directly explore solar processes that are key to understanding and forecasting space weather events that can impact life on Earth. Photo Credit: (NASA/Bill Ingalls)
