The F-1 engine was the powerhouse of the first stage of the Saturn V rocket that launched the Apollo lunar missions between 1969 and 1972.
The turbopump was part of the F-1 engine. It moved oxidizer (LOX) and fuel (RP-1) to the gas generator and the thrust chamber. The 2,500 pound turbopump pumped in the propellants at 42,500 gallons per minute.
This turbopump was part of an F-1 engine that launched the Apollo 11 Saturn V. Around 2.5 minutes after launch, the first stage was jettisoned and fell into the Atlantic Ocean. This turbopump remained on the ocean floor until it was recovered by Bezos Expeditions in 2013.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration transferred the engine parts to the National Air and Space Museum in 2016.
