the Idea: a Saturn I with S-IVB + 2 UA1205 instead of First stage.
Here the Saturn IB interstage take the Load of two or four UA1205 solid rocket motors
After they burn out, the UA1205 are jettisoned the Interstage is drop during ignition of S-IVB like just Saturn IB flight
my question would this configuration work ?
theoretical this (S-IVB + 2 UA1205) bring a CSM into low earth orbit (like the configuration used for Apollo 7, Skylab and ASTP)
Picture in right scale
