With the following thesis, which is presented as a bibliographic research, we want to analyze the propulsion system of the first stage of the Saturn V vector, which was used by NASA for the Apollo and Skylab missions. In particular, in a first part, is provided a historical outline on the design of the space vector and a description of the main systems that make up the endoreactor of the first stage, specifying functions and technical characteristics. In a second part, they are motivated by the technical choices made on the engine, made to overcome technical limits or to promote performance. In conclusion, a comparison is made with more recent space vector, highlighting the constant technological innovation in the space industry.
Con la seguente tesi di laurea, che si presenta come una ricerca bibliografica, si vuole analizzare il sistema propulsivo del primo stadio del vettore Saturn V, il quale è stato utilizzato dalla NASA per le missioni Apollo e Skylab. In particolare, in una prima parte, viene fornito un cenno storico sulla progettazione del vettore spaziale e una descrizione dei principali sistemi che compongono l'endoreattore del primo stadio, specificando funzioni e caratteristiche tecniche. In una seconda parte, vengono motivate delle scelte tecniche apportate sul propulsore, apportate per superare limiti tecnici o per favorire le prestazioni. In conclusione, viene fatto un confronto con vettori spaziali più recenti, evidenziando la costante innovazione tecnologica nel settore spaziale.

Abstract
With the following thesis, which is presented as a bibliographic research, we want to analyze the propulsion system of the first stage of the Saturn V vector, which was used by NASA for the Apollo and Skylab missions. In particular, in a first part, is provided a historical outline on the design of the space vector and a description of the main systems that make up the endoreactor of the first stage, specifying functions and technical characteristics. In a second part, they are motivated by the technical choices made on the engine, made to overcome technical limits or to promote performance. In conclusion, a comparison is made with more recent space vector, highlighting the constant technological innovation in the space industry.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
