2016年6月23日 · Next year, an SLS first stage will arrive at Stennis for testing. It is even larger and heavier than its Saturn V sister, which has required considerable modification of the B-2 test stand.
Saturn V - Wikipedia
The Saturn V consisted of three stages—the S-IC first stage, S-II second stage, and S-IVB third stage—and the instrument unit. All three stages used liquid oxygen (LOX) as the oxidizer. The first stage used RP-1 for fuel, while the second and third stages used liquid hydrogen (LH2).
How did the Saturn V rocket get to the Kennedy Space Center?
The Saturn 5 is a three-stage rocket. The first stage, the S-1C, was built by Boeing at NASA’s Michoud facility in Louisiana. But it was also tested at the Mississippi test facility, now the Stennis Space Flight Center.

The multistage design allowed the first stage, with its big booster engines, to drop off once its rocket propellants were depleted. The second stage was more efficient because it had relatively less weight to push further into the planned trajectory, and it benefited from the accelerative forces imparted to it by the first stage.

The Saturn V required 56 railroad tank cars to supply its necessary propellants. The various stages for one launch vehicle spent up to 70 days in transit at sea before arriving at Cape Kennedy, while the S-IVB and the instrument unit arrived as airborne cargoes.
S-IC - Wikipedia
The S-IC (pronounced S-one-C [3] [4]) was the first stage of the American Saturn V rocket. The S-IC stage was manufactured by the Boeing Company. Like the first stages of most rockets, more than 90% of the mass at launch was propellant, in this case RP-1 rocket fuel and liquid oxygen (LOX) oxidizer. It was 42 m (138 ft) tall and 10 m (33 ft) in ...
Saturn V - dlab.epfl.ch
The first stage of Saturn V used five very powerful engines rather than the (controversial) 30 smaller engines of the N-1, necessary as the Soviets had not developed similarly powerful engines at that time. During two launches, Apollo 6 and Apollo 13, the Saturn V was even able to recover from engine loss incidents. The N-1 did have a computer ...
