Saturn V rocket's F-1 engine. The Saturn V was the launch vehicle for NASA's Apollo program of manned missions to the Moon (1961 to 1975). The Saturn V was one of the most powerful rockets ever made. Five F-1 engines were used in the first (take-off) stage of the Saturn V rockets. These engines burnt hundreds of tonnes of liquid oxygen and rocket fuel (kerosene) in around three minutes,lifting the 110-metre high,3000-tonne rocket to an altitude of 68 kilometres and a speed of 2.4 kilometres per second.
