View of the umbilical on the S-IVB's forward skirt. As the dynamic test article, it had a flight-like forward umbilical and hydrogen vent panel, but no fittings or connectors other than the hydrogen tank vent line.

Picture 1 of 2.

This photo was taken prior to the Saturn V's restoration. Note that the screen used to protect against wildlife and other contamination across the hydrogen tank vent is taught and covers the entire vent.
