Publisher's Synopsis
Rocket Development: Liquid-Fuel Rocket Research by Robert H. Goddard is a book that explores the history and development of liquid-fuel rockets. Goddard, who is widely considered to be the father of modern rocketry, provides a detailed account of his research and experimentation with liquid-fuel rockets in the early 20th century.The book covers Goddard's early experiments with solid-fuel rockets, which led him to realize the limitations of this technology. He then moved on to liquid-fuel rockets, which offered greater power and control. Goddard describes the challenges he faced in developing these rockets, including the need to create new materials and technologies to withstand the extreme temperatures and pressures involved.The book also includes detailed descriptions of Goddard's rocket designs, including the first liquid-fuel rocket to reach space in 1926. Goddard explains the principles behind these designs and the scientific theories that underpinned his work.Overall, Rocket Development: Liquid-Fuel Rocket Research is a fascinating and informative account of the early days of rocketry and the groundbreaking work of Robert H. Goddard. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of space exploration and the development of rocket technology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
