Description
The Saturn I/IB Rocket: NASA's First Apollo Launch Vehicle David Baker explores the often-overlooked history of the Saturn I and IB rockets, which played a significant role in NASA's manned space effort. From their origins in Wernher von Braun's WWII V2 rocket to their development as the first American 'heavy lift' rocket, these vehicles were instrumental in the transition from launching men and satellites on modified missiles to flying purpose-built space rockets. With detailed descriptions of each mission flown by the Saturn I and IB, this book sheds new light on a pivotal period in NASA's history.
