How many missions did the Saturn V have?
Flown from 1967 to 1973, the rocket launched 26 astronauts into space with six successful missions landing men on the Moon. Saturn V also launched Skylab, America’s first space station, into orbit in its final mission.
How many times was the Saturn V rocket used?
The Saturn V successfully flew 13 times, including 10 times with people on board. While some of these launches had flaws, in almost every case, the Saturn V sent its cargo safely into orbit. However, the Skylab space station was severely damaged during a Saturn V launch — more on that in the next slide.
What type of rocket was used in the Apollo missions?

The plan was to do MANY launches to low Earth orbit and assemble the Mars bound craft in space. But they realized the Saturn V is very expensive to operate and not as reliable as they thought.
How did the Saturn V rocket impact the Apollo program?
