Revell 03704 Apollo 11 Saturn V Rocket Spacecraft assembly kit 1:96

On July 16, 1969 at 9:32 AM the launch of the gigantic Saturn V from Cape Canaveral, the most important journey in the history of mankind. The huge Saturn V consisted of three main stages, was 110 m high and weighed 3,000 tons. It was able to carry a payload of 50 tons and reached a speed of 11.2 km/second. The 394,000 km journey to the moon lasted 72 hours. After reaching a low orbit, the upper assembly with the Apollo capsule received the thrust from the third stage of the launcher to achieve the speed of flight to the moon. Later, the Apollo assembly broke off the rocket, turned and pulled the lunar landing ferry out of the protective sleeve. Thus coupled together, this unit reached the moon and swiveled into a monorail. After a few months of traveling, the lunar cycle split with astronauts N. Armstrong and E. Aldrin aboard the command capsule in which only the astronaut M. Collins remained.
