This is a model of unknown scale of the Saturn IB First Stage Test Stand at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. It was used to test the first stage engines of the Saturn IB rocket beginning in 1965. After the tests, the engines were either returned to NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility near New Orleans or to Kennedy Space Center for incorporation into a Saturn IB. The rockets launched three Apollo spacecraft in 1966 on test flights, Apollo 5 and 7 in 1968, and the three Skylab crews in 1973. Its last flight was in 1975 when it launched astronauts for the Apollo-Soyuz mission. The model shop at Marshall Space Flight Center made this model and Robert Yowell donated it to NASM.
