• Product Description

• When President Kennedy said, “We chose to go to the Moon,” this is how we got there. We invite you to enjoy assembling this metal model version of the Apollo Saturn V that NASA developed to support the Apollo space program between 1967 and 1973. It includes the giant F-1 rocket engines that are clustered at the bottom of Saturn’s first stage. Fun and satisfying to put together, the model parts are made from a pair of completely flat laser-etched steel sheets: no glue is required.

From Cold War rivalry to cooperative exploration, America's venture into space was just beginning when the first humans set foot on the Moon in 1969. This landmark event not only defined space exploration but also influenced American society, politics, and identity for many years to come.

Beginning with the records of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, established in 1915 to address flight issues and conduct aeronautics research, the National Archives preserves NASA's records and other materials related to aeronautics. You can explore thousands of documents, newspapers, videos, and photographs, including an iconic image of Buzz Aldrin standing next to the U.S. flag on the lunar surface, in the space exploration holdings of the National Archives.
