S-IC-T was built by Boeing Company, under contract from National Aeronautics and Space Administration, to be a static test rocket.

The main role of the S-IC-T was the testing of the five liquid fuel rocket engines to be used in the Apollo program.

S-IC-T was assembled at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

The Saturn V's S-IC-T rocket is a first stage of the super heavy-lift launch vehicle.

Barge Poseidon was then floated 1,086.7 miles for six day, arriving at the B-2 Test Stand in Mississippi.

The S-IC-T tests were to verify that the S-IC stage could support the firing of all five Rocketdyne F-1 engines at the same time.

The five Rocketdyne F-1 engines produced 34,500 kN (7,750,000 lbf) of thrust, the first burn of the most powerful rocket ever.

The powerful rockets caused ground shaking and smoke filled the area from the engine flames.

The 7.5 million pounds of thrust was the power Wernher von Braun specified for Apollo to depart to the moon.

With the successful tests of S-IC-T, the Apollo program's Saturn V rocket was able to move forward to the next step, SA-501/Apollo 4 with S-IC-1.

The Space Launch System liquid oxygen feed line was tested in 2014 on stand.
