The article offers information on aerospace engineer Wernher von Braun who has developed Saturn I and Saturn IB powerful rockets for highly ambitious flights beyond Earth to the Moon and Mars. Topics discussed include Saturn V has been used by National Aeronautics & Space Administration to support the Apollo program for human exploration of the Moon; development of Saturn V in Marshall Space Flight Center; and vehicle to simulate a lunar return velocity.

The article focuses on the space programs of the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). It reports that the NASA has completed the second test of space rocket system Saturn S-1 at Atlantic Missile Test Range in 1962. Richard B. Canright, assistant director of launch vehicles at NASA, says that the test proves statistical reliability of the system. Wernher Von Braun, director at NASA's George C. Marshall Space Flight Center, says that the next tests would take place in 1963.

The author of the article talks about space missions of NASA. Topics include the Saturn V was highly expensive, but the lawmakers liked the shuttle because it created jobs around the country; the Space Launch System, was designed by NASA, which is larger than Saturn V and expendable and expensive; and NASA leaders simultaneously worked with SapceX and other companies to create public-private partnership other than its SLS mission.

This article explains that NASA's plans to reuse human-rated hardware wherever possible as it builds the spacecraft that will take explorers back to the Moon is perhaps best illustrated in the decision to use the J2 engine. To save development time and money, NASA will use the cryogenic rocket that powered the Saturn V upper stages to perform the same job on its Ares I crew launch vehicle and the Earth Departure Stage that will push crews to the Moon.

Focuses on the evolution of heavy lift rockets. Details on the studies of German rocket pioneer Wernher von Braun on the Saturn launch vehicle; Effort of the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration to study the Nova rocket; Development of Saturn launch vehicles; Move of the U.S. Armed Forces to create a heavy lift launch vehicle in 1959.

The article provides information on the success of the Saturn C-1, the first multimillion-pound space booster of the U.S. It states that launching of the Saturn C-1 was a test on the eight Rocketdyne H-1 engines which are capable of developing 188,000 pounds of thrust each. It adds that the Saturn C-1 is planned to be the first moon rocket of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

Several letters to the editor are presented, one in response to an article from the Winter 2011 regarding the Saturn V rockets used by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the other commending the journal for its work in documenting the history of American air forces.

The article discusses U.S. National Aeronautics & Space Administration's (NASA) concepts for the Apollo program of the 1960s. The launch vehicle was to be a white-and-silver shaft 185 feet high, a description that paralleled the three-stage construction of the Saturn V rocket, but underestimated the eventual design by nearly 200 feet. NASA had considered launching several small rockets and linking their payloads in orbit, but chose a 363-foot Saturn V instead.
