Saturn V S-IC-D First Stage
US Space & Rocket Center
Huntsville, AL

Saturn V Rocket

• Vehicle Number:	N/A
• Rocket Type:	Saturn V
• Rocket Stage:	S-IC-D (First Stage)

This is the 1st stage booster of the Saturn V rocket on display at the US Space & Rocket Center on the grounds of the Marshall Space Center near Huntsville, Alabama. This stage has the -D in its designation indicating that it is a full scale development article intended to be used in testing. As a result, it was not given a vehicle number. This rocket stage was on outdoor display for many years. It deteriorated very badly. Public outcry lead to it being restored and moved into a purpose built structure in July, 2006. This photo is scanned from a 4x6 print that I took in 2004.
