Why can't we remake the Rocketdyne f1 engine?

We can't remake the mighty Rocketdyne F-1 engines because many of the skills and techniques used to build Rocketdyne F-1 engines are no longer used. We don't have the people and skills that can make them in the same way anymore.

What is the most powerful rocket engine ever made?

F-1 With 1.5 million pounds (6.7 MN) of thrust, the F-1, built way back in the 50s, remains the most powerful single-chamber rocket engine ever created. With five F-1 engines, Saturn V, which first launched in 1967, is still the largest and most powerful rocket ever created.

How powerful is the F-1 rocket engine?

The F-1 remains the most powerful single combustion chamber liquid-propellant rocket engine ever developed....Rocketdyne F-1.

Liquid-fuel engine
Thrust (vaccum)	1,746,000 lbf (7,770 kN)
Thrust (sea-level)	1,522,000 lbf (6,770 kN)
Thrust-to-weight ratio	94.1
Chamber pressure	70 bars (1,015 psi; 7 MPa)

How much thrust did the F-1 rocket engine?

The F-1 engine, with 1.5 million pounds of thrust, was the powerplant for the first stage of the 363-foot long Saturn V launch vehicle that took the first astronauts to the Moon for six successful landing missions.

Could Falcon 9 go to the Moon?

Firefly Aerospace has selected SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket to launch the company's first commercial lunar lander mission in 2023 with 10 NASA-sponsored research payloads. ... That will permit the lander to deliver more than 330 pounds, or 150 kilograms, of payload to the surface of the moon.

How much horsepower does the F-1 rocket engine have?

The F-1 rocket engine is still a modern wonder — one and a half million pounds of thrust, 32 million horsepower, and burning 6,000 pounds of rocket grade kerosene and liquid oxygen every second.

Is Starship more powerful than Saturn V?

If we use thrust as a measure, the SLS will be the most powerful rocket ever when it flies to space in 2021. The Block 1 SLS will generate 8.8 million pounds (39.1 Meganewtons) of thrust at launch, 15% more than the Saturn V. ... Its first stage could produce 10.2 million pounds (45.4 Meganewtons) of thrust.

Did F1 cars use rocket fuel?

The F1 engines of the 80s used to run on what was known as "rocket fuel" that contained high levels of toluene. According to engineers, toluene is such an effective anti knock fuel it also means that it is more difficult to ignite at low temperatures.

Could Falcon 9 go to the moon?

Firefly Aerospace has selected SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket to launch the company's first commercial lunar lander mission in 2023 with 10 NASA-sponsored research payloads. ... That will permit the lander to deliver more than 330 pounds, or 150 kilograms, of payload to the surface of the moon.

Is Starship bigger than Saturn V?

Super Heavy alone stands 230 feet (70 meters) tall and Starship SN4 added another 165 feet (50 m) of height. Together they stood a whopping 395 feet tall (120 m), taller than NASA's massive Saturn V moon rocket, which was 363 feet tall (110 m). "Dream come true," Musk wrote on Twitter of the stacked Starship.

Can Falcon Heavy reach the moon?

SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket to deliver an Astrobotic lander and NASA water-hunting rover to the moon in 2023. SpaceX is set to send a payload to the moon in 2023, using its larger (and infrequently used) Falcon Heavy launch vehicle.

What is the most powerful engine?

Wärtsilä RT-flex96C engine Developed by Wärtsilä Corporation, the 14-cylinder Wärtsilä RT-flex96C engine is also the world's most powerful engine with an output of 80,080 kW (108,920 bhp). The 14-cylinder Wärtsilä RT-flex96C engine is a major breakthrough for ship propulsion.

What is the heaviest rocket in the world?

As of 2021, the Saturn V remains the tallest, heaviest, and most powerful (highest total impulse) rocket ever brought to operational status, and it holds records for the heaviest payload launched and largest payload capacity to low Earth orbit (LEO) of 310,000 lb (140,000 kg), which included the third stage and ...

What was the biggest rocket ship in the world?

The most powerful rocket currently in operation is the Falcon Heavy, also built by SpaceX. This produces 23 meganewtons of thrust at launch.

How big is an F1 fuel tank?

Formula 1 Fuel Tanks Today However, this space-saving and safety-driven design can hold a whopping 30 gallons, or 110 liters or kilograms of fuel, the maximum allowed for a race. The tank is wide at the base and tapers off at around neck height on any given driver.
