Few launch vehicles are as iconic and distinctive as NASA's
behemoth rocket, the Saturn V, and none left such a lasting
impression on those who watched it ascend. Developed with the
specific brief to send humans to the Moon, it pushed rocketry to
new scales. Its greatest triumph is that it achieved its goal
repeatedly with an enviable record of mission success. Haynes'
Saturn V Manual tells the story of this magnificent and hugely
powerful machine. It explains how each of the vehicle's three
stages worked; Boeing's S-IC first stage with a power output as
great as the UK's peak electricity consumption, North American
Aviation's S-II troubled second stage, Douglas's workhorse S-IVB
third stage with its instrument unit brain - as much a spacecraft
as a rocket. From the decision to build it to the operation of its
engines' valves and pumps, this lavishly illustrated and deeply
informative book offers a deeper appreciation of the amazing Saturn
V.
