This Saturn V was assembled from excess hardware after the cancellation of the Apollo Program. It is the only Saturn V on display with complete flight hardware. Although repainted in 1996, the vehicle shows signs of deterioration. For this reason it is being restored in a manner similar to the article at KSC. A temporary sehelter has been built around the booster with windows that run the length of the eastern wall allowing visitors from the Space Center Houston tram tour a chance to view the restoration. The Apollo spacecraft was removed for restoration at a separate facility.
It is capped by an Apollo spacecraft made up of the following units:
SLA-22
CM/SM 115/115A (It is believed the numbers refer to the CM/SM or vice versa)
LES 115.
