Résumé
This book is comprised of two papers written by Robert Goddard for the Smithsonian Institution: "A Method of Reaching Extreme Altitudes" and "Liquid Propellant Rocket Development." Two of the most significant publications in the history of rockets and jet propulsion, these reports--the first published in 1919 and the second in 1936--were issued at a time when little was known about rockets and jet propulsion. Goddard's first paper addressed the theoretical possibility of obtaining great ranges by means of well-designed rockets. It showed also that fairly high jet velocities were obtainable, and mentions progress in the construction of a solid cartridge magazine-type rocket. The second paper served as a progress report and indicated what had been accomplished during experimentation. Goddard went on to lay the foundations for the development of long range rockets, missiles, satellites and space flight.
