The F-1 engine was the powerhouse of the first stage of the Saturn V rocket that launched the Apollo lunar missions.
The F-1 engine used LOX (liquid oxygen) and PR-1 (kerosene) as propellants. The LOX dome forced the liquid oxygen from the turbopump to the injector, where it would then mix with RP-1 before being burned. The dome was located near the top of the engine, just above the injector plate.
This LOX dome 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. In 2013, F-1 components were recovered from the ocean floor by Bezos Expeditions.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration transferred the engine parts to the National Air and Space Museum in 2016.
