A Saturn 5 third stage rocket boosts Apollo 17 (46,768 kg,
103,106 lbs) from orbital speed (7,822 m/s, 17,500 mph) to escape
speed (11,174 m/s, 25,000 mph) to reach the moon. Determine the
exhaust gas velocity needed for this "deltavee". Third stage
booster mass by itself is 104,328 kg before and 11,249 kg after the
rocket “burn”.
