Description

Photograph of an observer looking through a recording telescope stationed 3,000 feet from the launching tower in Roswell, New Mexico. Following a two-year gap in grant funding from the Guggenheim Foundation, Robert Goddard, his wife Esther, and his crew returned to Roswell, New Mexico in 1934 for what would be a further 8 years of rocket research.

'The Goddard Rocket Researches: A Photographic Record' is an annotated photo album covering Robert H. Goddard's work and experimentation with rocketry. It was assembled and curated by Esther Goddard sometime after her husband's passing in 1945. Additionally, almost all of the photographs were taken by Esther herself.

Photographs were scanned at 400dpi.
