F1 Injector Plate
An “injector plate” in a liquid fuel rocket injects both fuel and oxidizer into the combustion chamber.
This plate is about 40” in diameter and 8” thick.
In 2012 a Jeff Bezos sponsored search recovered one of the engines from the Apollo 11 booster, about 400 miles east of the launch center, and submerged nearly 3 miles deep. This plate (right) is one of the very few Saturn V pieces ever recovered.
