This photograph captures a NASA Saturn V rocket during rollout, carried atop its Mobile Launcher by the massive Crawler-Transporter along the crawlerway at Kennedy Space Center. Standing over 360 feet tall, the Saturn V was the most powerful launch vehicle built during the Apollo program, carrying American astronauts to the Moon between 1968 and 1972. The vehicle's black-and-white roll pattern aided ground tracking cameras in monitoring its orientation during ascent. Ground crew and support vehicles in the foreground illustrate the massive scale of this Cold War-era achievement in American space exploration. Project: 218470
