Title
Static Test Firing of Saturn V S-1C Stage
Full Description
Smoke and flames belch from the huge S-1C test stand as the first
stage booster of the Apollo/Saturn V space vehicle is static fired at
the NASA Mississippi Test Facility (MTF), currently called Stennis Space Center.
The huge 138 foot-long rocket had five engines that develop 7.5 million pounds
of thrust and launched the 363 foot-long Saturn V up to a height of 40 miles
at a speed of 6,000 miles per hour. The first stage was built by the
Boeing Company at NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans,
Louisiana, under the management of Marshall Space Flight Center.
