Marine Inspection. Shown here in the early stages of construction is an ocean liner. At every step it took to form this bare skeleton into a beautiful ship plying the Atlantic Ocean with thousands of passengers aboard each year, it was under the scrutiny of U.S. Coast Guard marine inspectors. It will be subject to safety inspections until the ship can no longer sail. This applies to all United States passenger ships of 100 gross tons and more propelled by machinery.

At its founding, the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) inherited the Armys Jupiter and Redstone test stands, but much larger facilities were needed for the giant stages of the Saturn V. From 1960 to 1964, the existing stands were remodeled and a sizable new test area was developed. The new comprehensive test complex for propulsion and structural dynamics was unique within the nation and the free world, and they remain so today because they were constructed with foresight to meet the future as well as on going needs. Construction of the S-IC Static test stand complex began in 1961 in the west test area of MSFC, and was completed in 1964. The S-IC static test stand was designed to develop and test the 138-ft long and 33-ft diameter Saturn V S-IC first stage, or booster stage, weighing in at 280,000 pounds. Required to hold down the brute force of a 7,500,000-pound thrust produced by 5 F-1 engines, the S-IC static test stand was designed and constructed with the strength of hundreds of
