Robert Goddard A Modern Rocket Scientist

• 1882 - Born in Mass.
• 1908 - Began studies of physics at Clark
  University
• 1915 -Proves that rocket engines can produce a
  thrust in a vacuum
• 1920s-30s - Takes a leave of absence from his
  teaching at Clark in order to perform research

• 1926 - first liquid fueled rocket launched - 41
  feet
• 1930 - Roswell, NM supersonic and multi-stage
  rockets fin-guided steering.
• 1945 -Dies at age 62, holding 214 patents

Goddards Problem with Publicity

• Goddard shares his ideas about the possibility of
  a moon landing
• Published an article
• Argued that a big enough rocket would make it to
  the moon

• The Times trashed his idea
• Goddard upset that he had been defamed to the
  public
• Sank into a quarter century sulk.
• Later became known as the father of Modern
  Rocketry

Goddards Historic Firsts

• First explored mathematically the practicality of
  using rocket propulsion to reach high and
  altitudes and even the moon
• First shot a scientific payload (barometer and
  camera)in a rocket flight

• Proved thrust can be created in a vacuum (space)
• First used vanes in the rocket motor blast for
  guidance

47
Goddards Historic Firsts (cont)

• First developed gyro control apparatus for rocket
  flight in New Mexico
• Successfully launched a rocket with a motor
  pivoted on gimbals under the influence of a gyro
  mechanism
• First developed pumps suitable for rocket fuels

Missile Flight

• To prove that a missile could be modified from
  civilian to military use.
