Saturn V

The most powerful rocket yet flown lifts 140 tonnes to low orbit.

Von Braun's team at NASA built the three-stage Saturn V, first launched in November 1967. Its five F-1 engines produced about 34 MN of thrust. All 13 flights succeeded, including every crewed lunar mission and the launch of Skylab.
