The Interstage is the primary structual interface between the CLV First Stage and Upper Stage. Contained inside the Interstage compartment are the Thrust Cone and J-2X Engine. When the First Stage falls away from the vehicle, this separation occurs along the seam between the Interstage and the Aft Skirt.
