NASA Saturn V Aft View of Saturn V Third Stage (S-IVB) 9903170.jpg
wrote in message news There are still 3 Saturns on display. http://history.msfc.nasa.gov/saturn_apollo/display.html One is at Johnson Space Center The Saturn V on display at the Johnson Space Center has been assembled from stages associated with all three missions mentioned above. The first stage is from SA-514 and designated S-IC-14 from the cancelled Apollo 18 mission. The second stage (S-II-15) is from SA-515 the Skylab backup vehicle which NASA did not use. The third stage (S IV-513) was originally part of SA-513, the launch vehicle selected for Skylab.13 Unlike the three-stage Apollo Saturn V configuration, the Skylab Saturn V configuration only required a first and second stage since the Saturn V upper stage was replaced by Skylab. This allowed NASA to designate the third stage for Apollo 18. That mission was cancelled, however, and the third stage eventually became part of the Johnson Saturn V display. 14 |
