Description

Photograph of Robert Goddard standing next to a "model tested May 4, 1926, with new launching frame" at Ward Farm in Auburn, Massachusetts (where tests took place until 1929). This new frame was built to accommodate the larger rocket model Goddard developed following failed attempts to make successful modifications to the much smaller model used for the landmark March 16, 1926 flight (as well as the April 3, 1926 flight). The May 4, 1926 test did not get off the ground.

'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.
