Saturn MLV V-1 and V-3 nuclear configurations

The Saturn MLV was a proposed concept family of rockets, intended as a follow-on to the Saturn V. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] MLV stands for "Modified Launch Vehicle".

Contents

Vehicle configurations representative of several alternative uprating methods were specified by the Marshall Space Flight Center for initial studies.

Proposed modifications

  1. Thrust uprating and modifying of the five F-1 rocket engines used in the first S-IC stage, and corresponding increases in propellant tank capacities.
  2. Addition of a sixth F-1 engine in the S-IC stage, as an alternative to engine uprating, plus increased propellant capacities.
  3. Use of UA1205 solid rocket boosters derived from the Titan IIIC vehicle. [10]
  4. Additional J-2 engines in the S-II stage, ~131 s increased upper stage propellant capacities.
  5. Improved or advanced upper stage engines, such as the HG-3, plus increased propellant capacities. [3]

The baseline Saturn MLV would incorporate these changes from the Saturn V vehicle. The Saturn IC first stage would have been stretched 240 inches (610 cm) with 2,500,000 kg (5,600,000 lb) of propellant and five new F-1A engines; the S-II second stage would have been stretched 41 inches (100 cm) with 450,000 kg (1,000,000 lb) of propellant and five J-2 engines; the S-IVB third stage would have been strengthened, but with a standard 100,000 kg (230,000 lb) of propellant, and one J-2 engine. Nuclear propulsion in the third stage and toroidal J-2 engines in the second and third stages were also investigated. [2] [3]

MS-IC first stage

MS-IC-1 and MS-IC-1A stage diagram

S-IC height growth would have been limited to 12 m (40 ft), because of enclosed barge limits. If this was solved, height growth would have been limited to 14 m (46 ft), because of vertical assembly crane limits.

The MS-IC-1 first stage would have been strengthened, because of higher structural loads. It would also have been stretched 6.1 m (20 ft). [12] The propellant pressurization system would have had 15% higher flow rates to account for the differences between the F-1 and F-1A engines. The stage would have weighed 16,000 kg (36,000 lb) more than the S-IC while empty.

The MS-IC-1A would have been a variant of the MS-IC-1 with 6 engines individually weaker than the MS-IC-1's engines. [13] The total amount of thrust would have been about 1.46% higher than the MS-IC-1. Because of the additional engine, inboard gimbal is limited to 2.5°, while outboard is restricted to 7.8°. This would have not posed large control issues. Additional supply lines would have been needed for the MS-IC-1A. The stage would have weighed 8,900 kg (19,600 lb) more than the MS-IC-1 and 25,000 kg (56,000 lb) more than the S-IC, while empty. Manufacturing would remain largely similar, while testing and vehicle assembly equipment would see major changes.

Other variants studied were the MS-IC-4(S)B (336 inch stretch), [14] MS-IC/260 (fuel and propellant tanks housed above strap-on solid rocket motors), [15] MS-IC-23(L) (240 inch stretch) [16] and MS-IC-3B (20 foot stretch with F-1A engines). [17]

MS-II-2 stage diagram

The MS-II-1 variant would have been almost unchanged from the S-II stage, except for it being strengthened to handle increased flight loads. [18] Manufacturing and GSE would not have had major changes.

The MS-II-1A variant would have had seven J-2 engines. [19] Major changes would have been in the propulsion and thrust structure. The variant would have been extended to account for the 540,000 kg (1,200,000 lb) of propellant.

The MS-II-2 variant would have had to have the thrust structure redesigned, because of the switch to the HG-3 engine. [20] Propellant load would be increased up to a maximum of 540,000 kg (1,200,000 lb) and stage length would have been extended less than or equal to 470 cm (187 in), without major facility changes. Because of the HG-3 engine, the interface between the stage and engines would have needed changes. Electrical, propellant management and propellant dispersion systems would also have required changes.

Manufacturing changes for the MS-II-2 variant from the MS-II-1 variant would have been small, except for the increased diameter of the HG-3 engine's feedlines' increased diameter causing changes to the LH2 tanks feedline fittings. Changes to the LOX tank and thrust structure would also have required changes. GSE changes would also have required changes for handling, transportation. New equipment for propulsion systems would also have been required. Changes would have been required to facilities, in order to have space for duplicate tooling. Testing would only have required minor changes to facilities.

Other variants studied were the MS-II-1-J-2T-200K (41 inch stretch and J-2T-200K engines), [21] MS-II-1-J-2T-250K (41 inch stretch and J-2T-250k engines), [22] MS-II-3B (15.5 foot stretch) [23] and MS-II-4(S)B. [24]

MS-IVB third stage

MS-IVB-1A and MS-IVB-2

The MS-IVB-1 third stage would have had the same size and shape as the unmodified S-IVB stage, but it would have been strengthened because of the larger payload capacity and flight stresses. [25] The J-2 LOX pump would have been modified. The MS-IVB-1 would have weighed 598 kg (1,319 lb) more than the S-IVB. Manufacturing for the MS-IVB-1 would only have required minor changes. The helium repressurization system would have replaced ambient helium bottles with cold ones and a heater.

The MS-IVB-2 would have been a stretched version of the S-IVB using the HG-3 engine. [26] The MS-IVB-2 would also have required strengthening. The thrust structure would have been replaced, because of the higher thrust of the HG-3 engine. The LOX tank would have received an additional cylindrical segment. The propulsion system's helium system would have been modified in a similar way as the MS-IVB-1, but with an additional heater. The common bulkhead would have been flatter. Because of the switch to the HG-3 engine, the LOX and LH2 chilldown pumps would have been removed. Manufacturing would have required major changes, with under half of the 52 major tools unchanged. GSE models would also have to be largely modified, with again under half remaining unchanged.

The MS-IVB-1A is similar to the MS-IVB-2, but with a J-2 engine and thrust structure. [27] It also has heavier tank walls and other less notable changes.

Other variants studied were the MS-IVB-3B [28] and the MS-IVB-4(S)B. [29]

Engine uprating

Some MLV configurations would have required that some engines were uprated.

F-1 Uprating

As an alternative to adding an additional engine, uprating the thrust was investigated. The investigation used the 1522K configuration as the base for uprating. All uprated engines would have had to use a 76 cm (30 in) turbine, because the uprating was limited by the 89 cm (35 in) turbine used on the 1552K configuration.

Besides the 30 inch turbine, the 1650K config would have required improved pump impellers, and a stronger gas generator at a lower mixture ratio. The 1800K configuration would have required an increased pump impeller diameter, increasing gas generator volume to solve temperature control issues, and reducing turbine exhaust back-pressure. Uprating past the 1800K configuration would have been limited by turbopump torque and critical speed.

J-2 Uprating

1,000,000 N (225,000 lbf) and 1,100,000 N (250,000 lbf) thrust variants were selected for uprating studies, with the base variant being the 890,000 N (200,000 lbf) variant.

Uprating to the 1,000,000 N (225,000 lbf) variant would have required changes to the turbopumps, gas generator control valve, thrust chamber bypass system, and the injector. To uprate to the 1,100,000 N (250,000 lbf) variant from the 1,000,000 N (225,000 lbf) variant would have required changes to the oxidizer turbopump assembly, concentric gas generator control valve, fuel turbopump, and high-pressure ducts added with the uprating.

Nuclear propulsion

In the MS-IVB stages, the use of nuclear propulsion could have been used to achieve higher Trans-lunar injection performance.

Because of the lower density of LH2, the vehicle would have been taller. This would have caused higher structural loads and sometimes would have exceeded facility height limitations. The higher structural loads are believed to be solvable without major changes. Both V-3 vehicles and the V-1/NERVA would have had exceeded the 120 m (410 ft) height limit by up to 18 m (60 ft). Limiting nuclear engine propellant to reduce the height to 120 m (410 ft) would have caused payload to TLI being reduced by up to approximately 14,000 kg (30,000 lb). This could have been solved by:

  1. Using 1,010 cm (396 in) diameter stages.
  2. Shortening off-loaded chemical boost stage propellant tanks.
  3. Assembling the uppermost stages outside the VAB.
  4. Using hammerhead nuclear stages.
  5. Increasing the height of one VAB cell's hook height.

Crawler-related changes and issues are road load limits, and location of service arms and checkout equipment.

Apollo 6, also known as AS-502, was the third and final uncrewed flight in the United States' Apollo Program and the second test of the Saturn V launch vehicle. It qualified the Saturn V for use on crewed missions, and it was used beginning with Apollo 8 in December 1968.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">S-IVB</span> Third stage on the Saturn V and second stage on the Saturn IB

The S-IVB was the third stage on the Saturn V and second stage on the Saturn IB launch vehicles. Built by the Douglas Aircraft Company, it had one J-2 rocket engine. For lunar missions it was fired twice: first for Earth orbit insertion after second stage cutoff, and then for translunar injection (TLI).

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Saturn IB</span> American rocket used in the Apollo program during the 1960s and 70s

The Saturn IB(also known as the uprated Saturn I) was an American launch vehicle commissioned by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for the Apollo program. It uprated the Saturn I by replacing the S-IV second stage, with the S-IVB. The S-IB first stage also increased the S-I baseline's thrust from 1,500,000 pounds-force (6,700,000 N) to 1,600,000 pounds-force (7,100,000 N) and propellant load by 3.1%. This increased the Saturn I's low Earth orbit payload capability from 20,000 pounds (9,100 kg) to 46,000 pounds (21,000 kg), enough for early flight tests of a half-fueled Apollo command and service module (CSM) or a fully fueled Apollo Lunar Module (LM), before the larger Saturn V needed for lunar flight was ready.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">S-IC</span> First stage of the Saturn V rocket

The S-IC 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, most of its mass of more than 2,000 t (4,400,000 lb) at launch was propellant, in this case RP-1 rocket fuel and liquid oxygen (LOX) oxidizer. It was 42 m (138 ft) tall and 10 m (33 ft) in diameter. The stage provided 34,500 kN (7,750,000 lbf) of thrust at sea level to get the rocket through the first 61 km (38 mi) of ascent. The stage had five F-1 engines in a quincunx arrangement. The center engine was fixed in position, while the four outer engines could be hydraulically gimballed to control the rocket.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">S-II</span> Second stage of the Saturn V, built by North American Aviation

The S-II was the second stage of the Saturn V rocket. It was built by North American Aviation. Using liquid hydrogen (LH2) and liquid oxygen (LOX) it had five J-2 engines in a quincunx pattern. The second stage accelerated the Saturn V through the upper atmosphere with 1,000,000 pounds-force (4.4 MN) of thrust.

The Saturn I was a rocket designed as the United States' first medium lift launch vehicle for up to 20,000-pound (9,100 kg) low Earth orbit payloads. Its development was taken over from the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) in 1958 by the newly formed civilian NASA. Its design proved sound and flexible. It was successful in initiating the development of liquid hydrogen-fueled rocket propulsion, launching the Pegasus satellites, and flight verification of the Apollo command and service module launch phase aerodynamics. Ten Saturn I rockets were flown before it was replaced by the heavy lift derivative Saturn IB, which used a larger, higher total impulse second stage and an improved guidance and control system. It also led the way to development of the super-heavy lift Saturn V which carried the first men to landings on the Moon in the Apollo program.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Rocketdyne F-1</span> Rocket engine used on the Saturn V rocket

The F-1 is a rocket engine developed by Rocketdyne. The engine uses a gas-generator cycle developed in the United States in the late 1950s and was used in the Saturn V rocket in the 1960s and early 1970s. Five F-1 engines were used in the S-IC first stage of each Saturn V, which served as the main launch vehicle of the Apollo program. The F-1 remains the most powerful single combustion chamber liquid-propellant rocket engine ever developed.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Rocketdyne J-2</span> Rocket engine

The J-2, commonly known as Rocketdyne J-2, was a liquid-fuel cryogenic rocket engine used on NASA's Saturn IB and Saturn V launch vehicles. Built in the United States by Rocketdyne, the J-2 burned cryogenic liquid hydrogen (LH2) and liquid oxygen (LOX) propellants, with each engine producing 1,033.1 kN (232,250 lbf) of thrust in vacuum. The engine's preliminary design dates back to recommendations of the 1959 Silverstein Committee. Rocketdyne won approval to develop the J-2 in June 1960 and the first flight, AS-201, occurred on 26 February 1966. The J-2 underwent several minor upgrades over its operational history to improve the engine's performance, with two major upgrade programs, the de Laval nozzle-type J-2S and aerospike-type J-2T, which were cancelled after the conclusion of the Apollo program.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Rocketdyne H-1</span> American kerolox rocket engine

The Rocketdyne H-1 was a 205,000 lbf (910 kN) thrust liquid-propellant rocket engine burning LOX and RP-1. The H-1 was developed for use in the S-I and S-IB first stages of the Saturn I and Saturn IB rockets, respectively, where it was used in clusters of eight engines. After the Apollo program, surplus H-1 engines were rebranded and reworked as the Rocketdyne RS-27 engine with first usage on the Delta 2000 series in 1974. RS-27 engines continued to be used up until 1992 when the first version of the Delta II, Delta 6000, was retired. The RS-27A variant, boasting slightly upgraded performance, was also used on the later Delta II and Delta III rockets, with the former flying until 2018.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Atlas II</span> American rocket

Atlas II was a member of the Atlas family of launch vehicles, which evolved from the successful Atlas missile program of the 1950s. The Atlas II was a direct evolution of the Atlas I, featuring longer first-stage tanks, higher-performing engines, and the option for strap-on solid rocket boosters. It was designed to launch payloads into low Earth orbit, geosynchronous transfer orbit or geosynchronous orbit. Sixty-three launches of the Atlas II, IIA and IIAS models were carried out between 1991 and 2004; all sixty-three launches were successes, making the Atlas II a highly reliable space launch system. The Atlas line was continued by the Atlas III, used between 2000 and 2005, and the Atlas V, which is still in use as of 2024.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Saturn INT-20</span>

The Saturn INT-20 was a proposed intermediate-payload follow-on from the Apollo Saturn V launch vehicle. A conical-form interstage would be fitted on top of the S-IC stage to support the S-IVB stage, so it could be considered either a retrofitted Saturn IB with a more powerful first stage, or a stubby, cut-down Saturn V without the S-II second stage.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Saturn II</span> Proposed NASA heavy-lift launch vehicle

The Saturn II was a series of American expendable launch vehicles, studied by North American Aviation under a NASA contract in 1966, derived from the Saturn V rocket used for the Apollo lunar program. The intent of the study was to eliminate production of the Saturn IB, and create a lower-cost heavy launch vehicle based on Saturn V hardware. North American studied three versions with the S-IC first stage removed: the INT-17, a two-stage vehicle with a low Earth orbit payload capability of 47,000 pounds (21,000 kg); the INT-18, which added Titan UA1204 or UA1207 strap-on solid rocket boosters, with payloads ranging from 47,000 pounds (21,000 kg) to 146,400 pounds (66,400 kg); and the INT-19, using solid boosters derived from the Minuteman missile first stage.

The proposed Saturn IB-B was to be essentially an uprated Saturn IB using the new MS-IVB-2 upper stage, using the HG-3 engine, developed from the S-IVB and an uprated S-IB-A first stage.

The Saturn V-ELV was to be an enlarged Saturn V with the addition of four UA1207 solid rocket boosters derived from the Titan IV launch vehicle and liquid propellant stages derived from the conceptual Saturn MLV-V-4(S)-A* and MLV-V-1A. Had it been built it would have been able to put a 200,000 kg payload into low Earth orbit or a 67,000 kg payload into a translunar trajectory. The ELV was intended to serve as part of a manned NASA mission to Mars, though that idea eventually fell out of favor largely due to political and financial concerns. A Mars mission would have used a total of 10 ELV's - 6 for the space vehicle and 4 for the logistics vehicles. In addition to Mars, the ELV was intended to serve as a platform for unmanned exploratory missions to Venus.

The engine was designed to produce a specific impulse (Isp) of 451 seconds (4.42 km/s) in a vacuum, or 280 seconds (2.7 km/s) at sea level.
