Saturn V
Saturn V was an American super heavy-lift launch vehicle developed by NASA under the Apollo program for human exploration of the Moon. The rocket was human-rated, with three stages, and powered with liquid fuel. It was flown from 1967 to 1973. It was used for nine crewed flights to the Moon, and to launch Skylab, the first American space station. As of 2022, the Saturn V remains the only launch vehicle to carry humans beyond low Earth orbit. Saturn V holds records for the heaviest payload launched and largest payload capacity to low Earth orbit: 310,000 lb, which included the third stage and unburned propellant needed to send the Apollo command and service module and Lunar Module to the Moon.
