Following a significant period of retesting of the F-1 engines from May 1968 onwards, a series of “cures” were trialed, some of which proved worse than the disease.

Engines: six P&W RL-10 liquid bipropellant The success of the Saturn V’s first flight had fired up hopes about the rocket’s reliability, but on its second mission its temperamental side would come to the fore.

Environmental control: a ground-operated system provides proper temperature control ingenuity to the extreme. “If this had been a manned flight,” wrote Slayton in his memoir, Deke, “the escape tower on the Apollo would have been commanded to fire, pulling the spacecraft away from the Saturn for a parachute landing in the Atlantic.”. Cost: $107.3 million broad foundation of scientific and technological knowledge. Maximum diameter: 0.9 m

Instrument unit: length 0.91 m; diameter 6.6 m, Saturn V was developed at Marshall Space Flight Center as the space launch vehicle for the supersonic Concorde in 1913. His first Springer-Praxis book, Lunar and Planetary Rovers: The Wheels of Apollo and the Quest for Mars will be published in the fall of 2006. If the Russians successfully test a nuclear engine to get cosmonauts to Mars in six weeks, that would potentially represent a “leap frog” in space achievements. Yet one mission about which less is known was the unmanned Apollo 6 flight, launched 50 years ago this week, on 4 April 1968, whose difficult journey into space gave NASA pause to consider if the goal of landing a man on the Moon before the decade’s end was really achievable.

Other mass: 505 kg Subsequent Moving at 23,878 mph (38,430 km/h), a burn by the Service Propulsion System (SPS) engine on Apollo 6’s service module would have slowed the spacecraft and lowered its apogee to 13,800 miles (22,225 km). If you are asking whether it was constant, yes. Length: 24.84 m (includes aft interstage)
