Photo labels

[edit]

Note: The label for the pictures states "Nova 8L" rocket and the article refers to the Nova C8 rocket, I belive the photo label is incorrect. Please advice.

I think the confusion is between the Saturn C8 and the Nova 8L, which were very similar but used different engines. Mark Grant 17:12, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The Problem is that in 1961 there where two different development programms that proposed nearly identical Launchers. The Saturn C8 (with eight J2 Engins in second stage) and the Nova 8L (with two M1 Engines in scond stage). So, if you want to describe a Nova the Lable is right, but the Foto is wrong.--Atillert 00:32, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
