  • Saturn V Third Stages

    From Dean Markley@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jul 13 07:32:49 2018
    On the moon missions (8, 10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17) what happened to the Saturn V third stages after they boosted the Apollo CM out of Earth orbit?

    The third stage was commonly called S-IVB (ess four bee). They ended up
    in quite different places. Apollos 8 thorough 12 left their S-IVBs in a heliocentric orbit, while Apollos 13 and beyond crashed their third
    stage into the Moon--deliberately to cause seismic events of known
    energy.

    See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-IVB
