Saturn V Launch with Apollo 10 - INTO the VACUUM of Space

592 views 2 weeks ago
INTO the VACUUM is a video made using Orbiter Space Flight Simulator by Unstung.

Apollo 10 was a NASA mission launched aboard a Saturn V rocket on 18 May 1969. It was the first and only F type mission, to test the lunar module, deployed from the command module, in orbit around the moon. This payload required the massive Saturn V rocket, its first stage of five F-1 engines providing over seven million pounds of thrust. The first S-IC stage combined with the second S-II and third S-IVB stages let the legendary, one million pound Saturn V lift 120,000 and 45,000 kilograms to low Earth orbit and trans-lunar injection respectively.

The five Rocketdyne F-1 engines used on the first stage were the most powerful ever built, providing 1.5 million pounds of thrust each. They were liquid fueled, using liquid oxygen (LOX) and RP-1 kerosene. The second and third stages of the Saturn V used Rocketdyne J-2 engines that are less powerful, but more efficient in a vacuum. The first stage would crash into the ocean while the third stage would reach interplanetary space like the Apollo mission crews.

The audio used in the video includes the historical launch coverage from Mission Control in Houston and the voices of the Apollo 10 crew, Thomas P. Stafford, John W. Young, and Eugene A. Cernan, all veteran astronauts. The video follows Apollo 10 until first stage and skirt separation, soon after the five J-2 engines of stage S-II ignite. Then the video skips to 21 May 1969 in lunar orbit to slow down the pace for the credits, depicting the morning of launch on 18 May.
