<p>The Saturn V was the launch vehicle for all twelve Apollo missions and also the sole Skylab mission.
This section houses the Lunar Module and Service Module.
It is part of one of only three complete Saturn V rockets to exist and which consists of the following components:-
1st stage ‘S-IC-14’ from SA-514, which was planned to fly on Apollo 19.
2nd stage ‘S-II-15’ from SA-515, which was planned to fly on Apollo 20
and
3rd stage ‘S-IVB-513’ from SA-513, which was planned to fly on Apollo 18 but was replaced by the Skylab orbital workshop and the mission renamed ‘Skylab 1’.
This is therefore the only surviving Saturn V rocket made entirely from components actually intended to fly. It went on display outside in 1979 but in 2005 it was restored and has since been on display in a protective building.
