摘要

Fifty years after carrying the Apollo 11 crew to the Moon, the Saturn V rocket is still remembered as one of NASA's crowning achievements and one of the greatest engineering marvels of the modern age. Often lost in its shadow, however, are the many other marvels that enabled its success-namely, the incredible amount of infrastructure created to support the development, manufacture, and launch of the mighty Moon rocket. Much of this infrastructure still stands today, not merely as relics of the Space Race, but as a vital tool in a new era of commercial partnerships and ambitious exploration. At Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, the test facilities once used to support the Saturn and space shuttle program now support the new Space Launch System (SLS) and Blue Origin's commercial engine development tests. Stennis Space Center rose from the isolated swamps of Mississippi to test the Saturn V's most powerful engines, eventually evolving into a multi-user facility supporting other governmental and commercial propulsion customers. And at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the same Vehicle Assembly Building used for stacking the Saturn V and Space Shuttle stages has been reconfigured to assemble SLS. The same launch pad at Kennedy that sent Apollo and Space Shuttle missions into space now supports commercial SpaceX flights. The enduring contributions of this infrastructure may be credited to the philosophy with which it was designed. From test stands at Marshall to bridges in south Mississippi, then-Marshall Center Director Wernher von Braun directed that infrastructure be designed not based on the specifications of the Saturn V itself, but with margin added to support a larger launch vehicle in the future. This presentation will discuss the infrastructure marvels that made it possible to develop, build, and fly the Saturn V; the contributions that infrastructure continues to make for NASA and its industry partners; and how NASA today is utilizing von Braun
