Saturn C-5N

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Saturn C-5N was a conceptual version of the Saturn V launch vehicle which would have had a nuclear third stage instead of the S-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.
