The Saturn C-1 configuration fully mated on its launch pedestal ready for the countdown. The third flight in the vehicle development missions is to further test the S-1 booster propulsion and control system. SA-3's trajectory will reach an altitude of 104 miles and impact 270 statute miles down range. Ninety-five tons of water stored in the second and third stages will be released at peak altitude in the high-water experiment to investigate the effects of a large volume of water in the ionosphere.
