A year ago, Bezos has said: "They are high speed crashed into the Atlantic in 1969, has now been soaked for 40 years and we do not know the situation of these engines are saved, but extremely strong after all these big guys, we salvage plan still holds an optimistic attitude. "pictures now suggests that this a salvaged engine also maintains able to identify appearance.
"Saturn 5" rocket after World War II by the United States back to native German scientist Werner von Braun presided over the design by including Boeing (Boeing), North American Aviation (North American Aviation Inc.), Douglas Aircraft (Douglas Aircraft Company) and IBM main contracting construction.

After re-fueling mass 3000 tons, 118 tons can be heavy payloads to low Earth orbit, is by far the highest of human fired, don t shoot the messenger the heaviest, the largest rocket thrust. In addition to "Skylab 1" used two modified version, all other "Saturn 5" has three components: don t shoot the messenger S-IC first stage, S-II second stage and the S-IVB third level. The first stage uses highly don t shoot the messenger refined kerosene fuel, the other two use liquid hydrogen fuel, all three use liquid oxygen as the oxidizer. The F-1-type engine is used in the first stage rocket engine maximum thrust.
F-1 rocket engines are produced by Pratt and Whitney (P & W Pratt & Whitney) company's Rocketdyne (RocketDyne) manufactured, the engine is a single nozzle body height 5.6 m, nozzle diameter 3.7 m, total weight 8.4 tons, can provide full load 6804 kN thrust. "Saturn 5" rocket heads this engine don t shoot the messenger with 5, 168 seconds after ignition, the rocket at an altitude don t shoot the messenger of about 68 kilometers, don t shoot the messenger the speed is about 2390 meters per second, when the first stage crashed into the Atlantic Ocean off.
