This intriguing infographic, dated May 26, 1961, presents NASA's proposed design for the NOVA space launch vehicle. NOVA was an ambitious project that aimed to surpass the capabilities of the Saturn C-3, which was the backbone of the NASA's space program at the time. The infographic illustrates how NOVA's boosters were clustered to generate greater thrust, allowing it to carry a three-man spacecraft and an impressive 20 tons of supplies and equipment to the Moon. Moreover, NOVA was not limited to lunar missions. With the addition of a nuclear third stage, NOVA could orbit Mars and return to Earth. This groundbreaking design represented a significant leap forward in space travel, showcasing NASA's vision for deep space exploration. The illustration demonstrates the various components of the NOVA launch vehicle, including the boosters, the central core, and the spacecraft. The intricate details of the design highlight the engineering prowess and innovation of the time. This infographic is a fascinating glimpse into the early days of space exploration, when the boundaries of human achievement were being pushed further than ever before. It serves as a reminder of the incredible progress that has been made in the field of aeronautics and space travel since then.
