What launch vehicle carried Apollo 11 toward the Moon?

The launch vehicle that carried Apollo 11 toward the Moon was the Saturn V.

Standing 363 feet (110.6 meters) tall, the Saturn V was a three-stage heavy-lift rocket developed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. Apollo 11 launched from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center on July 16, 1969.

The rocket's first stage used five F-1 engines burning kerosene and liquid oxygen. Its second and third stages used liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. The third stage performed the trans-lunar injection burn that sent the spacecraft from Earth orbit toward the Moon.

A common mix-up is confusing the Saturn V with the smaller Saturn IB. Saturn IB launched Apollo 7 and some uncrewed missions, but it did not provide the power needed for the crewed lunar missions. Saturn V launched every crewed Apollo mission that traveled to the Moon.
