Saturn V Rocket

The Saturn V rocket was a powerful launch vehicle developed by NASA to carry astronauts and equipment to the Moon during the Apollo program. Standing about 363 feet tall, it was the tallest and most powerful rocket ever built, designed with multiple stages that jettisoned as they consumed fuel. Its immense capacity allowed it to carry heavy payloads beyond Earth's atmosphere into space. The Saturn V's reliable performance was crucial for lunar landings, making it a symbol of engineering achievement and human exploration.
