SaturnV - LES/LMA

The 3D model of the Saturn V that went to the moon. I worked on this project with some fellow interns as the rocket was divided into multiple parts. We were tasked with creating a physically accurate version of the Saturn V that had landed on the moon. This involved finding the proper references as there had been multiple versions of the Saturn V but not all of them had gone to the moon. I was personally responsible for the creation of the LMA and LES parts of the rocket. The LMA (Lunar Module Adapter) was to hold and protect the lunar module during flight. The LES (Launch Escape System) was the part of the rocket where the astronauts would be housed and shot off in case of an emergency. The main focus of the project, per request from our client, was to get the rocket as close to real-life as possible. This meant that extensive research had to be done for references, for both the look but also the assembly of the rocket itself.
