“The first Saturn IB booster (S-IB-1) was placed in a static test stand at the NASA-Marshall Space Flight Center. The 1.6 million pound thrust booster arrived at the Center Sunday from New Orleans aboard the NASA barge “Palaemon.” It is scheduled to be static fired here at least twice before being shipped back to Michoud Operations for post-firing checks. The first firing is planed for early April. The booster is scheduled to be launched early next year from Cape Kennedy.”
