- Name
- Apollo 14 Kitty Hawk CSM Block II propulsion
- Notes
- Apollo 14 Kitty Hawk's command-and-service-module propulsion included one Aerojet AJ10-137 Service Propulsion System for major orbital and translunar maneuvers, two independent Command Module reaction-control subsystems, and four Service Module reaction-control quad packages. Saturn V propulsion and the Antares lunar-module systems are outside this configuration.

- Name
- Apollo 14 Antares lunar-module propulsion
- Notes
- Apollo 14 Antares used one integrated Lunar Module Descent Propulsion System for powered descent to Fra Mauro and one integrated Lunar Module Ascent Propulsion System for liftoff from the Moon and rendezvous with Kitty Hawk. Lunar Module reaction-control propulsion is not added because no exact canonical LM-RCS identity is present in this packet.
