The S-IC was a Saturn rocket stage.
Saturn V S-IC (First) Stage
This illustration shows a cutaway drawing with callouts of the major components for the S-IC (first) stage of the Saturn V launch vehicle. The S-IC stage is 138 feet (42 m) long and 33 feet (10 m) in diameter, producing a thrust of more than 7,500,000 lbf (33 MN) through five F-1 engines powered by liquid oxygen and kerosene. Four of the engines are mounted on an outer ring and gimball for control purposes. The fifth engine is rigidly mounted in the center. When ignited, the roar produced by the five engines equals the sound of 8,000,000 hi-fi sets.
