Description

A close-up photograph of a rocket motor used in a test on December 23th, 1929 at Camp Devens. Robert Goddard moved his rocket experiments to Camp Devens following the national publicity from the July 17, 1929 flight. Using federal ground kept Goddard's testing out of reach from the State Fire Marshall.

'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.
