- Summary
- This is a 1:48 scale model of the Saturn 1, the first of the three Saturn launch vehicles built for the Apollo program. A two-stage liquid-fuel rocket, it was originally called the Saturn C-1 and then renamed Saturn 1 in 1963. Although NASA had plans at that time to use the rocket for Apollo human orbital missions, these were subsequently dropped. Instead, the Saturn 1 launched five Apollo boilerplate command and service modules during 1964-1965 to help qualify the spacecraft for human spaceflight. This model was built and donated by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center to the Museum in 1972.
