Studies by NASA have shown feasibility of using Apollo spacecraft, Saturn launch vehicles, and operating techniques for missions far more complex than lunar landings; missions include cometary intercepts, probes to asteroids, solar probes, flights out of ecliptic, flights to earth-moon libration points, and probes out of solar system; with fourth stage Saturn V will carry 31,000 lb to intercept with comet Encke, 20,000 lb to asteroid Ceres, 10,000 lb on two-tenths AU solar probe, and 5000 lb on "fast" probe to 40 AU (Astronautical Unit).
