Model of the Saturn V by the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), plastic, composites, metal, and wood, 120 cm tall when assembled, approximately 1/100 scale. Many parts identified with decals, including each rocket stage identified with large red decals near the center point of each stage. A metal plaque on the mirrored wooden base reads: "George C. Marshall Space Fight Center, Huntsville, Alabama, Graphics Engineering and Models Branch, SATURN V." MSFC was the lead NASA center for the development of the vehicle which took Man to the moon. The Apollo Saturn V rocket had a 100% success flight record. Nine Apollo crew traveled to the moon powered by the F-1's 1.5 million pound and J-2's 225,000 pound thrust engines. Six two-man LEM (later called LM) crews made landings there. In 1973, this vehicle's first and second stages put the Skylab space station into earth orbit. An icon of the technological achievement made by the United States during the Space Race.
