AEDC support to Apollo program
A 1/20 scale model of the Saturn launch vehicle is adjusted prior to testing in the 16-foot transonic wind tunnel at Arnold Air Force Base. This particular test examined base heating during the Saturn launch, and the testing resulted in changes to the turbine exhaust ports to reduce base heating. The Saturn V was the launch vehicle used to get crew of the Apollo 11 spaceflight to the moon. (U.S. Air Force photo)
