T O P I C R E V I E WNC Apollo FanThe article that Robert posted concerning the deteriorating Saturn V at JSC mentioned that the example in Florida was compiled from flyable and non-flyable stages. I had not realized that. Does anyone know which stages were (at least at one time) 'flyable?'Also, am I correct in thinking that the LM on display in the Saturn V Center was flight-ready? If so, which mission was it slated for?Thanks!JonathananeedellLM 9 was to have flown on Apollo 15 with astronauts David Scott and James Irwin. However, when NASA decided that Apollo 15 and subsequent flights would be outfitted with lunar roving vehicles, LM 9 was replaced with LM 10, a version modified to carry the Lunar Rover. NASA transferred ownership of LM 9 to the Smithsonian in March 1973.------------------Allan NeedellSpace History DivisionNational Air and Space MuseummicropoozA handy link to see where spacecraft and booster artifacts are displayed is: http://aesp.nasa.okstate.edu/fieldguide/pages/aaindex/home1.html Ben WatsonHas there been any further word on the possibility/feasability of recovering jettisoned SI-C stages from the bottom of the Atlantic?
Also, am I correct in thinking that the LM on display in the Saturn V Center was flight-ready? If so, which mission was it slated for?
Thanks!
