Lot 230 | A SATURN 1-B ROCKET MODEL
Estimate value
$ 6 000 – 8 000
Vintage, detailed model of the Saturn 1-B launch vehicle, about four and a half feet tall.

The Saturn launch vehicles are to this day probably the most iconic spacecraft ever built. The Saturn I-B was used to launch Apollo 7, the first successful crewed mission of the Apollo program. It was an important part of the Saturn rocket family, which includes the Saturn V, the rocket that launched astronauts to the Moon.

This model has impressive size and detail and there is a cutaway window at the top through which a lunar module can be seen.
54 x 10 in.
