A group of researchers used acoustical models and historical data to disprove misinformation about Saturn V.
NASA's Space Launch System , which is scheduled to launch on Monday, August 29, is the U.S. space agency's mostI will produce 9.5 million lbs of thrust and carry a payload capacity of 190,000 lbs up to low-Earth orbit . By comparison, NASA's Saturn V rocket used for the Apollo missions produced 7.5 million lbs of thrust.
Scientists from Brigham Young University disproved these false claims, and they laid out their methods in a new paper published in The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America. They used a physics-based model to estimate the acoustic levels of the Saturn V rocket at a value of 203 decibels, which matches the limited sound data from the 1960s.
