Card No. 33: Saturn V at Cape Kennedy
The complex task of assembling and testing the 3,000 ton, 363 feet high Saturn V, and the time involved, has made it necessary to conduct this operation away from the launch pad in a special Vehicle Assembly Building.
The complete rocket, mounted on a special mobile launch tower, is transported bodily from the VAB to the launch pad three miles away on a huge tracked crawler vehicle.
The rocket and its launch tower are deposited at the launch pad, the crawler withdraws, and final tests are made, preparatory to fuelling and launching.
