Saturn V Instrument Unit Testing Begins at Marshall Space Center, 15 October 1965. Technicians began testing the Saturn V Instrument Unit dynamic test article, S-IU-200D/500D. Designed by Marshall and built by International Business Machines, the Instrument Unit served as the 'nerve center' for the Saturn V, providing guidance and control, command and sequence of vehicle functions, telemetry and environmental control. Here, the Instrument Unit for the Apollo 4 mission is hoisted for mating to the S-IVB or third stage. An optimised NASA image: Credit: NASA
