- Synopsis
- This is an image of the Saturn V rocket: the type that carried American astronauts on the various Apollo missions to the moon in the 1960s and '70s. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. The rocket is seen from the side moving diagonally from the bottom left of the page to the top right. It was 354 feet (108 metres) high and consisted of four stages, the last of which landed on the moon. At the bottom left of the page are the first stage rocket engine's exhaust gases pushing the vehicle through the atmosphere. Up and right from this are three of the five first stage engine outlets. Moving up and to the right are the rest of the rocket stages; they are marked by lines across the width of the launch vehicle. The fine textured section at the top right of the page is the spacecraft. This carried the astronauts and the lunar module, which travelled to and landed on the moon. The pointed section at the very top was the LES (launch escape system)
