What it is?
Assemble me. Explore the iconic rocket! NASA's Saturn V rocket holds records as the tallest, most powerful, and heaviest payload launch vehicle ever built, and is the only rocket to have carried humans beyond low Earth orbit. There were thirteen successful missions using Saturn V rockets: the twelve Apollo missions and the launch of Skylab (the United States' first space station) into low Earth orbit. The Saturn V stood 363 feet (110.64 m) tall (taller than the Statue of Liberty), was 33 feet (10.06 m) in diameter, weighed 6.5 million pounds (2.95 million kg) when fully fueled, and had three separate stages that fired sequentially and separated in flight. Stages one and two had five engines each, stage three had one engine, and all three stages used liquid fuel (the first used RP-1, while stages 2 and 3 used liquid hydrogen) mixed with liquid oxygen (LOX) as the oxidizer. This impressive DIY scale model of the greatest rocket the world has known instantly becomes a treasured part of the Ugears NASA collection and the larger catalogue of Ugears 3D puzzles, DIY model kits, automatons, robots, wooden puzzle boxes and STEM Lab model kits. It will be coveted by anyone whose imagination was captured by the Apollo missions, by students of aviation history, space exploration enthusiasts, or by modeling hobbyists who want to add an outstanding showpiece to their collection. Can you imagine a better way to help children become rocket scientists (in the literal or figurative sense) than by helping them build an amazing scale model of the Saturn V, and letting them play and interact with the various stages and modules? Start the countdown to modeling adventure—T-minus 10…9…8…and blast off with Ugears!
