Version of Space Shuttle using a S-ICM stage as a booster.
The Saturn-Shuttle was a preliminary concept of launching the Space Shuttle orbiter using the Saturn V rocket. It was studied and considered in 1971-1972.
An interstage would be fitted on top of the S-IC(M) stage to support the external tank in the space occupied by the S-II stage in the Saturn V. It was an alternative to the SRBs.
The Shuttle would handle space station logistics, while Saturn V would launch components.
This would have allowed a space station, using a Skylab or Mir configuration with docking ports, to have been lifted with just a handful of launches. The Saturn-Shuttle concept also would have eliminated the Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Boosters that ultimately precipitated the Space Shuttle Challenger accident in 1986.

@Tweedle_Aerospace Just to remind anyone, the S-I cores aren’t just the base version but a stretched version with boosters designated MS-1C-25S. So it’s not just four S-Is strapped together. It’s four very stretched S-ICs with four modified S-IIs known as the MS-II-4S(B).

@KirRu nothing compared to the Saturn V-4X(U) using four stretched S-I stages strapped together to achieve million pound Hardware.
