[i]Stennis Space Center conducted its first rocket engine test on April 23, 1966. The test was a cluster of five J-2 engines that powered the second stage (S-II) of the Apollo Program's Saturn V moon rocket. The S-II's five J-2 engines produced 1 million pounds of thrust. The powerful F-1 engines used in the first stage of the Saturn V vehicle were also tested at Stennis Space Center. Each F-1 was 19 feet tall and produced a 1.5 million-pound thrust. Each engine weighted 10 tons. [b]This commemorative pin contains metal shavings from original J-2 and F-1 engines tested at Stennis Space Center.[/b][/i]
