Description

Photograph of Robert Goddard (middle), his assistant Henry Sachs (left), and former student and fellow Physics professor Percy Roope (right) standing next to parts of the first liquid-propellant rocket after the landmark flight of March 16, 1926. This test, which took place at Ward Farm in Auburn, Massachusetts, would go down in history as the world's first flight of a liquid-fueled rocket.

'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.
