| has gloss | eng: The Saturn C-3 was the third rocket in the Saturn C series studied in 1960. The Saturn C-3 was intended to be used as a contender for one of just two methods to get the moon, which was Earth Orbit Rendezvous. The booster consisted of a first stage containing two Saturn V F-1 engines, a second stage containing four powerful J-2 engines, and the S-IV stage from a Saturn I booster. All stages for the Saturn C-3, except the S-IV, never flew except for their engines, used on the Saturn V rocket which took men to the moon. |
