A Saturn-IB first stage is unloaded from NASA Barge "Compromise" after arrival at Cape Kennedy on August 15, 1966.

After the January 1967 fire, this stage was stored until it was later re-scheduled for use on the first flight test of the Lunar Module (Apollo 5), which launched on January 22, 1968.
