    Example with Saturn V

    During launch, the S-IC fired its engines for 168 seconds (ignition occurred about 8.9 seconds before liftoff) and at engine cutoff, the vehicle was at an altitude of about 42 miles (67 km), was downrange about 58 miles (93 km), and was moving about 7,500 feet per second (2,300 m/s).

    The second stage (S-II) will carry the space vehicle to an altitude of 102 nm and a distance of 892 nm downrange.
