Description

Photograph of a medium-sized rocket, October 1927. The switch to a medium-sized rocket came as a result of unsuccessful attempts developing a much larger rocket model in the summer and fall of 1926. This much larger model came as a result of being unable to make marked improvements on the much smaller model that took the historic March 16, 1926 flight. These medium-rocket tests from October were also unsuccessful.

'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.
