Description

A close-up photograph of the camera and aneroid barometer that were carried on the July 17, 1929 flight. This flight was the world's fourth flight of a liquid-propellant rocket. This flight made so much noise and attracted so much publicity and attention that it forced Robert Goddard and company to move their operations to Camp Devens where they could carry on outside the jurisdiction of state authorities. The news coverage was instant and reached national levels. Footage from the flight can be seen in can be seen in Reel 2 of The Goddard Rocket Film Reels.

'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.
