This film released in 1964 and produced by the Space & Informations Division (SID) of North American Aviation Television, chronicles the various steps of production taken to manufacture the Saturn S-II. Built by North American Aviation, a major American aerospace manufacturer responsible for a number of historic aircrafts, the Saturn S-II was the second stage of the Saturn V rocket. The S-II used liquid hydrogen (LH2) and liquid oxygen (LOX) fuel and had five J-2 engines in a quincunx pattern. The stage accelerated the Saturn V through the upper atmosphere with 1,000,000 pounds-force (4.4 MN) of thrust. The film shows NAA production facilities around the United States, emphasizes the importance and role of the employees, and details the science behind the rocket's configuration and technology.
