Johnson Space Center Houston, TX
This is the 2nd stage from Saturn V vehicle SA-515 on display at the Johnson
Space Center in Houston, Texas. Vehicle SA-515 was originally in line to be
used for the Apollo 20 flight to the moon, but that flight was canceled
before the hardware was complete. SA-515 was retasked as the backup
launcher for the Skylab space station. Later, it was proposed to launch
the backup Skylab as a follow-on mission using this rocket. The SA-515
stages were retired in the late 1970s and put on display. It was restored
and moved indoors in 2005. This photo is from 1990.
