Saturn V Model
Humans have examined the sky for countless years, but it was in 1969's Saturn V mission that they learned what was on the Moon. The Saturn V was a huge rocket that stood more than three hundred feet tall. It was created by the same minds that created the V-2 to kill everyone in London, but it was modified for peaceful uses. No spacecraft before or afterwards has been able to carry people out of low Earth orbit.
The massive Saturn V was 110 meters tall, had three main stages, and weighed 3,000 tons. It could travel at a speed of 11.2 km/s and had a payload capacity of 50 tons. Seventy-two hours were needed to go the 394,000 kilometers to the Moon. The Apollo capsule's upper assembly got thrust from the launch vehicle's third stage after entering low Earth orbit, allowing it to travel to the Moon faster.
Later, the lunar module was lifted out of its protective shell by the Apollo assembly, which had separated from the rocket. This unit reached the Moon and swerved into lunar orbit after being so tied together. After several lunar orbits, the lunar module—which still had astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin aboard—separated from the command capsule, leaving only M. Collins inside. The Lunar Module landed in the Sea of Tranquility after two retromotor firings. This momentous occasion won't ever be forgotten.
