00:02:46,009 --> 00:02:43,680
launch vehicle it has provided the

58
00:02:51,170 --> 00:02:46,019
technological base now being used in

59
00:02:53,210 --> 00:02:51,180
developing Saturn 1b and Saturn 5 the

60
00:02:56,420 --> 00:02:53,220
Saturn 1 program began at the army

61
00:02:58,280 --> 00:02:56,430
ballistic missile agency in 1958 under

62
00:03:01,309 --> 00:02:58,290
the leadership of dr. Wernher von Braun

63
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:01,319
and Major General John B Medeiros the

64
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:03,330
purpose of the program under Advanced

65
00:03:09,890 --> 00:03:07,530
Research Projects Agency order 1459 was

66
00:03:12,229 --> 00:03:09,900
to develop a 1 and 1/2 million pound

67
00:03:14,809 --> 00:03:12,239
thrust clustered engine first stage

68
00:03:16,550 --> 00:03:14,819
shortly thereafter the program was

69
00:03:18,590 --> 00:03:16,560
expanded to the development of a

70
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:18,600
reliable three-stage heavy launch

71
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:23,010
vehicle for scientific payloads during

72
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:25,170
the next months studies were made to

73
00:03:29,630 --> 00:03:26,850
determine the most expeditious manner

74
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:29,640
for using existing tooling hardware and

75
00:03:34,250 --> 00:03:32,130
facilities the new facilities that would

76
00:03:36,949 --> 00:03:34,260
be required for testing this new and

77
00:03:39,050 --> 00:03:36,959
large vehicle and the optimum upper

78
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:39,060
stages one of the results of these

79
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:41,130
studies was the awarding of a contract

80
00:03:45,610 --> 00:03:43,290
to the Douglas Aircraft Company to

81
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:45,620
develop and manufacture the second stage

82
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:50,010
Douglas began work immediately during

83
00:03:53,770 --> 00:03:52,290
the same time period ABMA started

84
00:03:56,420 --> 00:03:53,780
development of the first stage

85
00:03:59,449 --> 00:03:56,430
consisting of a cluster of nine tanks

86
00:04:01,729 --> 00:03:59,459
and eight h1 engines the engines were an

87
00:04:03,770 --> 00:04:01,739
improved version of the engine used for

88
00:04:06,259 --> 00:04:03,780
the Jupiter and other military missiles

89
00:04:10,629 --> 00:04:06,269
the first stage manufactured was a

90
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:10,639
static firing test stage during march

91
00:04:15,170 --> 00:04:12,810
1960 technical and administrative

92
00:04:18,229 --> 00:04:15,180
control of the saturn program was

93
00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:18,239
transferred from ARPA to NASA in July

94
00:04:22,580 --> 00:04:19,769
the George C Marshall Space Flight

95
00:04:24,529 --> 00:04:22,590
Center it was activated the nucleus of

96
00:04:26,670 --> 00:04:24,539
the center was the von braun team of

97
00:04:30,910 --> 00:04:26,680
rocket experts

98
00:04:32,590 --> 00:04:30,920
in March 1960 test stage static firing

99
00:04:35,470 --> 00:04:32,600
was started with the firing of two

100
00:04:37,870 --> 00:04:35,480
engines in April all eight engines were

101
00:04:40,510 --> 00:04:37,880
successfully fired throughout the

102
00:04:42,700 --> 00:04:40,520
program the stage was constantly used to

103
00:04:45,310 --> 00:04:42,710
static test modifications and design

104
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:45,320
changes to ensure a more reliable

105
00:04:53,050 --> 00:04:48,410
vehicle a final acceptance firing was

106
00:04:55,330 --> 00:04:53,060
held in late 1962 Assembly of the first

107
00:04:59,350 --> 00:04:55,340
stage sa one got underway

108
00:05:01,720 --> 00:04:59,360
may 26 1960 following final assembly and

109
00:05:03,610 --> 00:05:01,730
fight qualification testing the first

110
00:05:07,540 --> 00:05:03,620
Marshall built booster was shipped to

111
00:05:09,700 --> 00:05:07,550
Cape Canaveral August 1961 the stage was

112
00:05:12,010 --> 00:05:09,710
shipped by a barge specially built and

113
00:05:16,150 --> 00:05:12,020
modified to move the large flight stage

114
00:05:18,340 --> 00:05:16,160
a few months earlier during may 1961 the

115
00:05:20,260 --> 00:05:18,350
Saturn one was changed from a three

116
00:05:23,380 --> 00:05:20,270
stage scientific satellite launch

117
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:23,390
vehicle to a two stage man rated vehicle

118
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:26,570
to support the Apollo program the design

119
00:05:31,150 --> 00:05:28,610
changes caused this decision to be

120
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:31,160
effective with the fifth flight at Cape

121
00:05:37,630 --> 00:05:33,770
Canaveral sa 1 was erected on the pad

122
00:05:41,860 --> 00:05:37,640

123
00:05:44,380 --> 00:05:41,870
10:06 a.m. October 27th 1961 the first

124
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:44,390
Saturn one was launched the flight

125
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:46,490
lasted eight minutes and was considered

126
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:52,250
highly successful a second Saturn one

127
00:06:03,719 --> 00:05:57,890
was launched April 25th 1962 a third

128
00:06:09,490 --> 00:06:03,729
November 16 1962 and a fourth March 28th

129
00:06:11,050 --> 00:06:09,500
1963 all were successful flight testing

130
00:06:13,210 --> 00:06:11,060
of these vehicles allowed for the

131
00:06:15,029 --> 00:06:13,220
continual development of the first stage

132
00:06:17,969 --> 00:06:15,039
including testing of structures

133
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:17,979

and development of an engine out

136
00:06:27,010 --> 00:06:24,919
capability a developed engine out

137
00:06:28,690 --> 00:06:27,020
capability would allow the Saturn to

138
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:28,700
complete its mission with the loss of

139
00:06:35,140 --> 00:06:31,130
one engine by diverting the propellant

140
00:06:36,820 --> 00:06:35,150
to the remaining engines meanwhile the

141
00:06:38,950 --> 00:06:36,830
