von Braun can be known as one of the most important individuals to the development of modern rocketry. Wernher von Braun was instrumental in the development of liquid fueled rocket engines. He was also the head engineer of the V-2 missile. Wernher Von Braun played an important role in the development of liquid fueled rocket engines. One March 23‚ 1912 Wernher von Braun was born to the wealthy barons Emmy von Quistorp and Magnus von Braun. One of the most notable moments in his childhood was at

The heated stem went up through pipes into the sphere and then escaped from two L-shaped openings on opposite sides of it. This propelled the sphere in a rotating motion. No one knows for sure when the first “real rockets” were invented. It is often speculated that the first rockets were mistakes‚ caused by the first century Chinese. They used a precursor to gunpowder that contained sulfur‚ saltpeter‚ and charcoal dust. This mixture was filled into tubes of bamboo and thrown into fires during religious

invented two of the most important rockets in the history of rockets‚ the V-2 and the Saturn V. Both of these rockets were very important to the development and furtherment of Missiles and Space Travel. Von Braun was born in 1912 in the Posen Province of then Germany. However after World War One this province was integrated into Poland. Early in his life‚ he stumbled on the book Die Rakete zu den Planetenräumen by Hermann Oberth. Hermann Oberth writes: “The rockets... can be built so powerfully that

gets thinner‚ lesser air enters the cylinder thereby chocking their efficiency to burn fuel. Rocket Engines Rocket engines produce the most power in the class of aircraft engines. They need so much of power in order to push the aircraft outside the gravitational pull of the earth. Rocket engines use a mixture of oxygen and a very combustible material to produce the thrust. The uniqueness of the rocket engine is that it carries its own oxygen to ignite its fuel. This is very different from the working

of which was a Russian named Konstantin Tsiolkovsky. He established the basics of rocket science. He made a rocket equation which determines the velocity of flight. That equation is still used today in modern rockets. Along with that‚ he also wrote the first theoretical description of an artificial satellite. The Germans also made a rocket called the A-4 rocket. It was first launched in 1942 and was the first rocket to reach space. It was also able to carry 2‚200 lbs of weight. Even though it was
