The Saturn-Shuttle was a preliminary concept of interfacing of the Space Shuttle orbiter and external tank with the S-IC stage of the Saturn V rocket. An interstage would be fitted on top of the S-IC stage to support the external tank in the space occupied by the S-II stage in the Saturn V so that NASA would have been able to steer completely away from solid rockets.
