Paul Ceruzzi New Member Posts: From: Registered:	posted 08-05-2004 11:38 AM A Saturn Instrumentation Unit, which has been in storage at the Smithsonian for many years, has now been moved to the Udvar-Hazy Center at Dulles Airport and is being prepped for exhibit. On its nameplate it reads serial number 031, IU # 514. Is this enough informaiton to suggest which mission it might have been intended for? I believe that the Apollo 17 Saturn was #512.

Since IU 514 is with the Smithsonian, what IUs are on the Saturn Vs on display at JSC and KSC?
