The article offers information on aerospace engineer Wernher von Braun who has developed Saturn I and Saturn IB powerful rockets for highly ambitious flights beyond Earth to the Moon and Mars. Topics discussed include Saturn V has been used by National Aeronautics & Space Administration to support the Apollo program for human exploration of the Moon; development of Saturn V in Marshall Space Flight Center; and vehicle to simulate a lunar return velocity.

The article focuses on the Rocketdyne F-1 engines of the Saturn V rocket used in the Apollo 4 unmanned test flight in 1967. Topics covered include the pounds of thrust produced by each engine, a contract awarded by the U.S. Air Force to Rocketdyne for an engine that would become the F-1, and achieving the needed propulsion by placing a bomb in the combustion chamber. The Rocketdyne F-1 engine's importance in the Apollo 8 mission to the moon is also mentioned.

The article focuses on the space programs of the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). It reports that the NASA has completed the second test of space rocket system Saturn S-1 at Atlantic Missile Test Range in 1962. Richard B. Canright, assistant director of launch vehicles at NASA, says that the test proves statistical reliability of the system. Wernher Von Braun, director at NASA's George C. Marshall Space Flight Center, says that the next tests would take place in 1963.

The article reviews the LEGO Ideas building set NASA Apollo Saturn V.

The author of the article talks about space missions of NASA. Topics include the Saturn V was highly expensive, but the lawmakers liked the shuttle because it created jobs around the country; the Space Launch System, was designed by NASA, which is larger than Saturn V and expendable and expensive; and NASA leaders simultaneously worked with SapceX and other companies to create public-private partnership other than its SLS mission.

This article explains that NASA's plans to reuse human-rated hardware wherever possible as it builds the spacecraft that will take explorers back to the Moon is perhaps best illustrated in the decision to use the J2 engine. To save development time and money, NASA will use the cryogenic rocket that powered the Saturn V upper stages to perform the same job on its Ares I crew launch vehicle and the Earth Departure Stage that will push crews to the Moon.

The article argues that humans have not surpassed the Saturn V rocket which was the first and only rocket to launch people from Earth to someplace else in the universe. In 1968, the U.S. space industry had stopped developing bigger and better rockets to launch humans beyond the Moon. Inspired in part by the successes of the Saturn V and the momentum of the Apollo program, visionaries of the day foretold a future that never came to be, space habitats, Moon bases, and Mars colonies up and running by the 1990s. But funding for the Saturn V evaporated as the Moon missions wound down.

The article reports on the discoveries made by scientists about Saturn based on the photographs taken by the spacecraft Voyager 2. Voyager 2 uses a camera with higher resolution than the one used by Voyager 1 which helps reveal additional information previously unknown to scientists, like the presence of more than 100 rings in the Cassini Division where only 30 were shown in photographs from Voyager 1. The theory that the ring are the troughs of waves from the planet has been presented.

The article focuses on the 11-day space mission of Apollo 7, which is the first U.S. manned flight. It mentions that the two-stage launch rocket, Saturn IB and Saturn 4B, weighed 1.3 million pounds. It highlights that astronaut Walter Schirra is the first man to drink coffee and the first to have a full-blown cold in space. It says that astronaut Donn Eisele accounted a radio interference while Walter Cunningham noted the increasing pressure in the radiator.

The article provides information on the success of the Saturn C-1, the first multimillion-pound space booster of the U.S. It states that launching of the Saturn C-1 was a test on the eight Rocketdyne H-1 engines which are capable of developing 188,000 pounds of thrust each. It adds that the Saturn C-1 is planned to be the first moon rocket of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

The article reports on the postponed flight of the Saturn 5 rocket in Florida. It states that the rocket took off from its Cape Kennedy launching pad when it met a series of troubles that may have caused the delay in landing the first astronauts on the moon. It notes the disappointed space scientists who had an analysis that the rocket had not attained its programmed velocity by the time the third stage was ready to take over.

The article reports on the test flights of three U.S. missiles which include Saturn, Ranger IV and Centaur. It mentions that Saturn has flown exactly according to plan with a speed of 3, 570 miles per hour and ready to take U.S. astronauts on their first flight. On the contrary, Ranger IV has lost control of its many instruments and the transmission data to the earth after the takeoff. Moreover, Centaur has failed the test flight since its Atlas booster terminated seconds after ignition.

The article reports on the success of Saturn rocket in its test flight as it rose off from its pad at Cape Canaveral, Florida. Saturn rocket had reached its programmed height of 95 miles which gives the U.S. a big boost in its race for space against the Soviet Union. However, the scientists, who were delighted by the success firing of the Saturn booster, are convinced that the Russians are already testing rockets that are more powerful than their 1,000,000 pound monsters.

The article focuses on the planned establishment of lunar colony by General Electric Co.'s Missile and Space Vehicle Department in the U.S. It notes the company's belief that only modest improvements are required in the space art and its plan to set a radio beacon on a suitable lunar plain selected by instrumented exploring rockets. It stresses the need for two hundred eight-engine Saturn with 1,500,000 pounds of thrust. Moreover, the total budget for the planned moon colony is outlined.

This section offers news briefs related to research in the U.S. as of June 20, 1964. The Space Division of Chrysler Corp. attained an unqualified success in the first full-duration static test firing of a Saturn space booster developed by industry. The Food and Drug Administration is facing a lawsuit from the drug industry which opposes the agency's demands that efficacy claims must be supported by clinical and experimental evidence.

The article discusses the launch of Apollo 17 Saturn rocket from Cape Kennedy, Florida in December 1972. It states that the Apollo 17 mission, carrying astronauts Ron Evans, Jack Schmitt, and Gene Cernan, was the last operation of Apollo. It says that before the launch, many spectators were shocked by a flame explosion that appeared to originate prematurely from the rocket's base.

An obituary is presented for aerospace engineer Oscar Carl Holderer, a member of the German engineering team that designed the V-2 rocket of World War II and later the Saturn rocket used for landing U.S. astronauts on the moon.

Several letters to the editor are presented, one in response to an article from the Winter 2011 regarding the Saturn V rockets used by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the other commending the journal for its work in documenting the history of American air forces.

The article discusses U.S. National Aeronautics & Space Administration's (NASA) concepts for the Apollo program of the 1960s. The launch vehicle was to be a white-and-silver shaft 185 feet high, a description that paralleled the three-stage construction of the Saturn V rocket, but underestimated the eventual design by nearly 200 feet. NASA had considered launching several small rockets and linking their payloads in orbit, but chose a 363-foot Saturn V instead.

The article reports that the world is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the launch of the Apollo 11 spacecraft, the first manned flight to the moon, in July 2009. It states that the journey of the Saturn V rocket, which blasted to 15,647 mph to escape the earth's pull, started at the speed of 1 mph on the back of one of the world's largest trucks. It mentions that the two crawlers built by the U.S. National Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA) for the moon missions are still used.
