The '''[[Saturn V]]''' was an American human-rated [[expendable launch system]] used by [[NASA]] between 1967 and 1973. Developed to support the [[Apollo program]]'s mission of human [[exploration of the Moon]], the [[super heavy-lift launch vehicle]] consisted of [[liquid-propellant rocket]]s in [[Multistage rocket|three stages]]: the {{nowrap|[[S-IC]]}}, the {{nowrap|[[S-II]]}} and the {{nowrap|[[S-IVB]]}}. The whole vehicle stood {{convert|363|ft|m|sp=us|abbr=on|order=flip}} tall when measured together with its Apollo spacecraft payload. The {{nowrap|S-IC}} first stage alone measured {{convert|42|m|ft|sp=us|abbr=on}} in height and {{convert|33|ft|m|sp=us|abbr=on|order=flip}} in diameter, with a total mass at launch of {{convert|2.3|e6kg|e6lb|sp=us|abbr=off}}, consisting mostly of its [[kerosene]]-based {{nowrap|[[RP-1]]}} fuel and [[liquid oxygen]] used as an [[Oxidizing agent|oxidizer]].
This picture shows the Saturn V {{nowrap|SA-506}} carrying [[Apollo 11]], the first crewed lunar landing mission, launching from the [[Kennedy Space Center]]'s [[Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39|Launch Pad 39A]] on July 16, 1969, at 13:32 [[Coordinated Universal Time|UTC]]. The {{nowrap|S-IC}} engines ignited a few seconds before liftoff and continued to fire until 2 minutes and 42 seconds into flight. The first stage provided more than {{convert|7600000|lbf|kN|sp=us|abbr=on|order=flip|lk=on}} of thrust, generated by five [[Rocketdyne F-1|Rocketdyne {{nowrap|F-1}}]] engines arrayed in a [[quincunx]], with a fixed center engine and four outer engines that [[Gimbal|gimballed]] for steering.
