	Saturn launch vehicles
		The Saturn story began in 1957 when Wernher von Braun and his team at the Army Ballistic Missile Agency (ABMA) envisioned a heavy-lift rocket with a powerful first stage made up of a cluster of eight Redstone missile stages surrounding one Jupiter missile stage.
		The three-stage Saturn V was taller than a 36-storey building and the largest, most powerful rocket ever successfully launched (see N-1); fifteen of them were built.
		Although a two-stage version of the Saturn V was used to place Skylab in orbit, the rocket was effectively retired at the end of the Apollo program.

	THE SATURN FAMILY
		Based upon the technology of the Saturn I program, the Saturn IB uses the S-IB first stage which is a modified version of the S-I stage, together with the S-IVB second stage, an upgraded version of the S-IV stage, and an Instrument Unit originally designed for the future Saturn V launch.
		The Instrument Unit used on the Saturn IB is nearly identical to that intended for the Saturn V. Equipment used in the Saturn I Instrument Unit program was intended to test the concepts for design of the Saturn V Instrument Unit.
		Saturn V, third and largest member of the Saturn family, is a three-stage vehicle capable of sending a 45-ton payload to the moon, or boosting as much as 140 tons into low earth orbit.

	NASA celebrates as Cassini begins its orbit of Saturn \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		Laden with a dozen science instruments and carrying a probe to be launched into the atmosphere of Saturn's giant moon Titan, the 12,593-pound, 22-foot-long and 13-foot-wide Cassini is the last large-scale planetary explorer in the NASA pipeline.
		Too massive to be launched on a direct trajectory to Saturn, it was sent toward the inner solar system, where it received two gravity assists from Venus and one from Earth.
		Scientists see the Saturn system as a model of the early solar system when the sun was surrounded by a disk of material.

	John F. Kennedy Space Center - A Brief History of Rocketry
		These rockets may have included the first combustion chamber, for sources describe the design as incorporating an "iron pot" to contain and direct the thrust of the gunpowder propellant.
		Later, the rockets were used in the capture of the fortress of Chapultepec, which forced the surrender of Mexico City.
		Two years later, as plans for the follow-on A3 rocket were being finalized, initial planning began for the A4 rocket -- a rocket that was to be, in Dornberger's words, a practical weapon, not a research tool.

	Saturn IB
		The Saturn IB mounted its eight H-I engines in the same cluster pattern as the Saturn I, although successive improvements raised the total thrust of each engine to 890 000 newtons (200 000 pounds) and then to 912 000 newtons (205 000 pounds).
		Flight profiles for Saturn IB missions for heatshield qualification purposes proved to be a little more difficult because "nobody would or could define the requirements or constraints, or test objectives." In other words, MSFC requirements for booster development test objectives and those of MSC for the spacecraft heatshield conflicted.
		Apollo/uprated Saturn I flights were identified with a 200 series number; Saturn V flights were identified with a 500 series number.

		The actual Saturn V would be derived from this, but with an increased-diameter third stage (6.61 m vs 5.59 m in C-5) and increased propellant load in S-II second stage.
		Rosen Committee studies in November and December indicated that the most flexible choice for Apollo was the Saturn C-4, with two required for the earth orbit rendezvous approach or one for the lunar orbit rendezvous mission, with a smaller landed payload.
		It recommended that the contractor for stage integration of the Saturn C-1 be Chrysler Corporation and that the contractor for stage integration of the Saturn C-5 be The Boeing Company.

		To counter the onslaught, and rev up flagging sales, Saturn is undergoing sweeping change, including an infusion of new models in new segments, an ambitious goal to nearly double annual sales and a move away from its trademark plastic body panels.
		While Saturn doesn't hide the fact that it is part of the GM family now, to some extent it still retains separation -- in the minds of consumers.

		The Saturn rocket was developed as a means of accomplishing President John F. Kennedy's goal for the United States to reach the moon before the end of the decade.
		Without the Saturn V rocket, with its capability of sending as payload the Apollo Command and Lunar Modules--along with support equipment and three astronauts--more than a quarter of a million miles from earth, Kennedy's goal would have been unrealizable.
		Stages to Saturn not only tells the important story of the research and development of the Saturn rockets and the people who designed them but also recounts the stirring exploits of their operations, from orbital missions around earth testing Apollo equipment to their journeys to the moon and back.

		After two more missions to test the lunar landing vehicle, in July 1969 a Saturn V launched the crew of Apollo 11 to the first manned landing on the Moon.
		Inside, the rocket contained three million parts in a labyrinth of fuel lines, pumps, gauges, sensors, circuits, and switches--each of which had to function reliably, and did.
