Saturn Apollo Program
This cutaway illustration shows the Saturn V S-II (second) stage with callouts of major components. When the Saturn V first stage burns out and drops away, power for the Saturn was provided by the S-II (second) stage with five J-2 engines which produced a total of 1,150,000 pounds of thrust. Four outer engines are placed in a square pattern with gimbaling capability for control and guidance, with the fifth engine fixed rigidly in the center.
