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 !
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

*Note: I've geotagged all of these pics in this set as being at the entrance, because unless you take a tour starting from the Infinity Science Center, that's as close as you'll get, and it's impossible now for me to figure out where more precisely, in the non-GoogleMapped campus, just where everything was, so that's close enough. :)

Engines of the Saturn V Rocket. At the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Will mankind survive till it advances technologically enough to populate other planets?

This was America's first liquid hydrogen fueled rocket engine. The development of this upper-stage engine was possible after engineers from Pratt and Whitney developed the first liquid hydrogen turbopump.

Motor fresh out of the packet - but date code indicated that it was from 2007. Motor popped on ignition - blowing both ends out. This was reported to Estes & replacement rocket kit supplied along with instructions for disposal of remaining two motors (as they are suspected bad)

In the foreground is the J-2 liquid hydrogen rocket used in the second stage of the Saturn V rocket. This engine may once again play a role in NASA's upcoming moon missions.
In the background is the F-1 engine. Five of these were used in the first stage of the Saturn V. It is the most powerful rocket engine ever developed.
