In August 1967, the Saturn V vehicle (SA-501), rolled out to the launch pad in preparation for its first launch. The 363-foot-tall rocket rolled out from the Vehicle Assembly Building and made its way to the launch pad at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida. The Apollo 4 mission was an uncrewed test flight designed to obtain flight information on launch vehicle and spacecraft structural integrity and compatibility, flight loads, stage separation, and subsystems operation, and to evaluate the Apollo command module heat shield. Launch was on 9 November 1967. An optimised NASA image: Credit: NASA
