Saturn C-5N

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Saturn C-5N was conceptual version of the Saturn V launch vehicle, which would have had a nuclear third stage instead of the IVB used on the Saturn V. This would have increased the payload to Low Earth orbit of the rocket from 118,000 kg to 155,000 kg.
