This flight-capable Saturn IB (S-IB-9, S-IVB-209, S-IU-209 ) was the rescue vehicle for Skylab and the backup for Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. Once those missions, were completed, this rocket was 'retired'. It was restored on 2019 after being exposed to the elements. The Apollo Facility Verification Vehicle is mounted to the end of the rocket.
