Saturn

The Saturn family of American rockets was developed by a team led by Wernher von Braun and other former Peenemünde employees to launch heavy payloads to Earth orbit and beyond. The Saturn family used liquid hydrogen as fuel in the upper stages. Originally proposed as a military satellite launcher, they were adopted as the launch vehicles for the Apollo Moon program. Three versions were built and flown: the medium-lift Saturn I, the heavy-lift Saturn IB, and the super heavy-lift Saturn V.

The Saturn IB and Saturn V flight vehicles first stages were manufactured at the Michoud Assembly Facility located 24 kilometers (approximately 15 miles) east of downtown New Orleans, Louisiana.

This montage illustrates the various configurations and missions of the three classes of the Saturn vehicles developed by the Marshall Space Flight Center.
