From his success in managing the two engine projects, Wernher von Braun selected Morea as the project manager of the Lunar Roving Vehicle to be used in the Apollo program. The conditions for completing the project were strict: understanding of lunar travel conditions was limited at the time, and after signing a contractor, Morea's team had only ...
A major portion of the service module was taken up by propellant and the main rocket engine. Capable of multiple restarts, this engine placed the Apollo spacecraft into and out of lunar orbit, and was used for mid-course corrections between the Earth and the Moon. The service module remained attached to the command module throughout the mission.
The ascent propulsion system (APS) or lunar module ascent engine (LMAE) is a fixed-thrust hypergolic rocket engine developed by Bell Aerosystems for use in the Apollo Lunar Module ascent stage. It used Aerozine 50 fuel, and N
The S-IC (pronounced S-one-C [3] [4]) was the first stage of the American Saturn V rocket. The S-IC stage was manufactured by the Boeing Company. Like the first stages of most rockets, more than 90% of the mass at launch was propellant, in this case RP-1 rocket fuel and liquid oxygen (LOX) oxidizer.
Now, the man behind GM's most celebrated modern racing engines will turn his focus toward F1. GM first announced plans to build its own F1 powertrains in November 2023, when the upcoming team was ...
